-"""
-Unit tests for the SSH key-type rejection detection added for issue #1356.
-
-When an sshd server rejects a public key because its algorithm is not in
-`PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms` (e.g. server allows only ssh-ed25519 while the
-key is RSA), Paramiko raises with one of a few known messages. NetExec must
-recognise those and report "Key type rejected by server" instead of the
-misleading "Could not decrypt private key, invalid password".
-
-These tests load the real helper from nxc/protocols/ssh.py without pulling
-in the heavy nxc dependency tree (which fails to build on Python 3.14).
