Is there any way I can use RSA authentication when I connect to my linode's console on the host machine?

Right now there isn't...

I have planned support for rsa key authentication. You would be able to manage your keys through the LPM web interface. This will all tie in to the features I plan on adding to Lish (Linode Shell) -- the script that you connect to when you ssh into the host for console access...

Some future examples would be:

Code: ssh user@hostX.linode.com reboot (to boot the default profile)
ssh user@hostX.linode.com reboot 2 (to boot the second profile)
ssh user@hostX.linode.com reboot last (last profile booted)
ssh user@hostX.linode.com shutdown
In addition to those quick commands, an actual prompt would appear when just ssh'ing in. Some additional commands could be: sysrq support, stop/go (pause and unpause), statistics gathering, you could script polling your network usage, etc...

rsa/dsa auth to Lish (console) has been deployed. Look under "My Profile" or "Remote Access" link off the Overview page.

BTW, thanks for the help testing this, inkblot!
