            Bug ID: 3636
           Summary: Public key authentication fails with incorrect message
                    if authorized_keys is not UTF-8 encoded
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 9.5p1
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Other
            Status: NEW

         Component: sshd

Older Windows server. 

Generated the initial authorized_keys file in PowerShell by performing
echo "<pubkey>" >> authorized_keys. 

Received incorrect error: mm_answer_keyallowed: publickey
authentication test: ED25519 key is not allowed

Minor bug, but painful to diagnose that it was an encoding issue.
