Briefly: I hacked P9P's ssh-agent to handle my 4096-bit RSA key, but it still interacts poorly with conventional Linux/Debian installations of OpenSSH. The error message:
agent key RSA SHA256:XXX...XXX returned incorrect signature type is explained as follows on stackoverflow: This message means that the SSH connection negotiated a connection using an RSA key with a different signature algorithm, either SHA-256 or SHA-512. However, the SSH agent, when asked to make the signature for that connection, provided an SHA-1 signature, which isn't in compliance with the agent protocol. Before I tackle the complexities of RSA encryption and decryption, is there a quick description of where I may be able to add the missing signature algorithm so I can upgrade the agent and/or factotum (Plan 9 rsaencrypt and rsaencrypt functions are the likely culprits, I just need some directions to avoid poorly re-inventing the wheel).
