sshd doesn't seem to be able to auth a user using an rsa key of 20000
bit.

1. I generated an ssh rsa key like this:
    ssh-keygen  -t rsa -b 20000

2. I placed the public key into another users authorized_keys file

3. I tried to ssh that user.

What happens: 
   4. "Feb  4 23:35:50 ABOX sshd[17138]: error: RSA_public_decrypt
failed: error:04067069:lib(4):func(103):reason(105)"

What should happen:
   4. Accepted publickey for .... 



------
Use cases:
1. having an ssh key over 9000. "00:18 < Kenny> Yes, so will I, for
security-measures based on DragonBall Z memes. ;)"
