    #Fixing “WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE!” on Linux
If you are getting this error then you probably reset the permissions on your hidden .ssh directory in your user folder, and your keys aren’t going to work anymore. It’s very important that these files not be writable by just anybody with a login to the box, so openssh will give you an error if you try to use them.
The full error message:

@         WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE!          @
