Hi Maxim,

This doesn't seem to be. Here's why: I have another machine that I ssh
to using an unencrypted RSA key. I am able to connect to the Guix daemon
on that machine without any trouble. What's more, the machine with an
encrypted key, whose Guix daemon I'm unable to connect to, uses an ECDSA
key.

Adding 'StrictHostKeyChecking no' makes no difference. The unencrypted
key still works, and the encrypted doesn't.

Cheers!
Arun
