Easy enough
# mkdir ~user/.ssh
# touch ~user/.ssh/{authorized_keys,config,random,etc,etc,etc}
# chown root:usersprivategroup ~user/.ssh
# chmod 750 ~user/.ssh
# chown user:usersprivategroup ~user/.ssh/*
# chmod 640 ~user/.ssh/*
# chown root:usersprivategroup ~user/.ssh/authorized_keys
SSH even seems happy to have a root-owned authorized_keys file...
