-Subject: [PATCH] signkey: fix use of rsa-sha2-256 pubkeys
-MIME-Version: 1.0
-Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
-Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
-
-Commit 972d723484d8 ("split signkey_type and signature_type for RSA sha1
-vs sha256") has added strict checking of pubkey algorithms which made
-keys with SHA-256 hashing algorithm unusable as they still reuse the
-`ssh-rsa` public key format. So fix this by disabling the check for
-rsa-sha2-256 pubkeys.

-Ref: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8332#section-3
-Fixes: 972d723484d8 ("split signkey_type and signature_type for RSA sha1 vs sha256")
