OpenDKIM now makes a much more concerted effort to verify that the key
cannot be changed.

1) Check every directory along the way to the file, including / (ls -l
/). In my case every subdir was mode 755 root:root, but / was owned
by a non root user due to an errant script in the past.
2) Make both key files (private and public) owned by the user opendkim
runs as, mode 600 for the private key, mode 644 for the public key. I
make mine be owned by dkim:root, but it could be dkim:dkim and it
should still work.
