You need to go back to the Unix basics class. Think about the
implications of what you said...   Changing the permissions is absolutely
unneeded.

If you then go and read about security, and in particular SSH; you'll
learn that having the .ssh directories be only readable/executable by you
IS THE STANDARD CONFIGURATION AS OTHERWISE IT IS NOT SECURE!!!
