I tried that myself, now, and can confirm that it works. What had me 
irritated was the note on the /system_advanced_admin.php page, section 
"Secure Shell", where it says "Disable password login for Secure Shell 
(RSA key only)".

So maybe that text ist wrong or outdated, but the functionality is there.

Kind Regards,
