FYI.  The OpenSSH 8.8 release has some changes listed
in the release email for OpenBSD 7.0 that may be relevant.
If not now, then in the future.

 - OpenSSH 8.8

    o Potentially incompatible changes
       - A near-future release of OpenSSH will switch scp(1) from
         using the legacy scp/rcp protocol to using SFTP by default.
       - This release disables RSA signatures using the SHA-1 hash
         algorithm by default.
       <snip>

I also seem to recall some announcement that said that RSA keys
smaller than 1024 can no longer be used.  But I can't verify this
because I can't find the announcement.
