Note that modern ssh generally comes with two protocol versions, 1 and 2; and they use different keys. IIRC rsa is for version one, and would then require the Protocol line to read Protocol 1,2 to try 1 and fallback to two.

not that this will add much to the OP, but the order of the versions on the Protocol line does not matter.

from 'man sshd_config':

 Protocol   Specifies the protocol versions sshd supports. The   possible values are '1' and '2'. Multiple versions must   be comma-separated. The default is '2,1'.  Note that the   order of the protocol list does not indicate preference,   because the client selects among multiple protocol versions   offered by the server. Specifying '2,1' is identical to '1,2'.

Hrm, learn something every day.

As far as I can see you make the key as root and then copy it to both root and tradone's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.

I dont think you can do that. The user tradone must generate hes own key using ssh-keygen.

My .ssh folder has mode 700 btw.

Also, try to connect like this: $ ssh tradone@<hostname>
