.ssh authorized_keys and sshd_config

[gregoryt]

I am trying to access a remote server on which I don't have root access. The system /etc/ssh/sshd_config file reads:

RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
#AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys

# For this to work you will also need host keys in /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts

The authorized keys line is commented - which I can't change. Is there somewhere else to override this setting essentially allowing 'passphrase/passwordless' ssh login without having to have a key in ssh_knownhosts which roott owns and I cannot write too?
Any help would be much appreciated. I can post the entire sshd_config and ssh-config files if that would be helpful

Thanks

That looks okay.
Did you add your key from your workstation to your users' authorized_keys file on the remote server.
Permission should be 600 on this file
