the $HOME directory should be not be world writable.

also, check the permissions on the ssh directory ($HOME/.ssh). the 
permissions on the directory should be 700.

the files inside the directory should be:

-rw-r--r--   1 user   sysadmin    3142 Jan 29 19:18 authorized_keys
-rw-------   1 user   sysadmin     383 Jan 29 11:05 config
-rw-------   1 user   sysadmin     547 Jan 20 15:18 key
-rw-r--r--   1 user   sysadmin     351 Jan 20 15:18 key.pub
-rw-r--r--   1 user   sysadmin    6222 Feb  9 10:22 known_hosts
-rw-------   1 user   sysadmin     512 Feb  9 10:22 random_seed
