Yes. Standard suggestions apply: make sure the user owns his own home directory, and that there are NO world- or group-writable directories along the path leading up to ~user/.ssh/authorized_keys. Make sure you spell authorized_keys in the US manner. Make sure your public key is in the correct format (OpenSSH vs. SSH.com).
