  Hmm, for some reason the sshd configuration module of yast is not
installed by default nowadays (it used to be with older versions of
opensuse). Well, it can be installed easily enough, though. (Although,
admittedly, you have to first figure out that you have to do this. I don't
understand why it isn't installed by default.)

  But yes, you can select RSA or public key authentication there.
