SSH Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes












-1














I have SELinux on my RedHat EC2 instance and im getting




Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory /home/user




And its expected that this happens since i gave group access to this folder. As soon as i remove this permissions the ssh connection works again.



The main problem is that i NEED users on the group to edit on this directory. How can i fix this issue?



I ve tried disabling SElinux but its not working. In fact, sestatus returns




SELinux status: disabled




And ive already reboot the instance to apply the changes.
