I know that this is the standard installation. But we absolutely need 
passwordless login. So this was the workaround we found.
The number of groups differs when sshd is run as local system, and when 
authorized_keys exist or not. Groups are OK, when it is run under the 
one user we absolutely need the passwordless login.
