Yes, works fine.

Easiest way is to test that the keys work with the shell set to
/bin/bash (or similar) and then switch the shell to rssh.

Make sure the ~/.ssh/ directory and authorized_keys file (note the
US spelling) are owned by the user and only readable by the user.

Use the verbose flag on the ssh client to show info on what is
going on and where things are failing, eg:
	rsync -va -e 'ssh -v' /dir/file remote-server:/dir/file

Check the authentication syslog files on the server (eg
/var/log/auth.log for Debian or /var/log/secure for RedHat)
for errors from the server end.
