The above is on a single line - I had to break the line entering the url
Following the advice in that link I did
touch /.autorelabel;reboot

This reverted the system so that ssh in failed as it had in the first place
so I had to fix the context for /opt/ using restorecon again....

This put me back in the position where I can ssh in but only giving the password - passwordless login is still not possible.

I tried restorecon -v /opt/Local/home/mike/.ssh/authorized_keys2 but
this made no difference - and I still cannot login without the password.

The sealert message suggests doing restorecon -v './authorized_keys2' and I had tried but this does not fix the problem.

Hence there seems to be a bug in the SELinux policy on this issue?

I would doubt that.../opt is not a usual place for users $home
directories and thus the policy for files in that tree would not be
suitable for the method you are using.

I can agree with that, but how do you convince SEL that you desire /rootlockeddown/<user>/authorized_keys to be a valid place for sshd to read? note /rootlockeddown/ is not where home directories are, it is where the admin approved keys are after the admin sets in sshd_config:
AuthorizedKeysFile /rootlockeddown/%u/authorized_keys

BTW I am not asking from just an academic perspective... I too will require a way to do this eventually.
