commit d7790cdce72a1b6982795baa2b4d6f0bdbb0100d
Author: Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org>
Date:   Fri Jul 7 13:30:15 2023 +1000

    disallow remote addition of FIDO/PKCS11 keys
    
    Depends on the local client performing the session-bind at openssh.com
    operation, so non-OpenSSH local client may circumvent this.
