-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----

Yeah, but if you look at the top of the private key file, you'll see something 
like:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

or

-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----

Even if you generate a "RSA" key using later versions of OpenSSH generate it in 
the OPENSSH format, not RSA. I cannot remember, off the top of my head, if 
libssh2 (or guacd) supports that format/header.
