+Subject: [PATCH] Trust guix store directory
+
+To be able to execute binaries defined in OpenSSH configuration, we
+need to tell OpenSSH that we can trust Guix store objects. safe_path
+procedure takes a canonical path and for each component, walking
+upwards, checks ownership and permissions constrains which are: must
+be owned by root, not writable by group or others.
