Description

Issue body actions

Steps to reproduce

  1. Set up PowerShell SSH remoting as both client and host on a Windows or Linux machine
  2. Establish that remoting is working back to the same machine
    Enter-PSSession -hostname LocalComputerName -userName User
  3. Delete and recreate the host keys
    On Windows go to where Win32-OpenSSH is installed and delete all "ssh_host_key*" files
    Then create new files by running ssh-keygen.exe -A
  4. Try to create a new remote session
    Enter-PSSession -hostname LocalComputerName -userName User

Expected behavior

Get complete SSH host key revocation error message
The entire SSH error message should be

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@    WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!     @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that a host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the ECDSA key sent by the remote host is
SHA256:Etb4yw1QyVJnP4eGKdvOG/xPy9F5rKEw+Xk02wXmJGU.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in C:\\Users\\UserName/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending ECDSA key in C:\\Users\\UserName/.ssh/known_hosts:1
ECDSA host key for LocalComputerName has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.

Actual behavior

Enter-PSSession : [paulhig-3] The background process reported an error with the following message: The SSH client session has
ended with error message: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@.
At line:1 char:6
+ $s = nsn -HostName paulhig-3 -UserName redmond\paulhi
+      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : OpenError: (System.Manageme....RemoteRunspace:RemoteRunspace) [New-PSSession], PSRemotin
   gTransportException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : 2100,PSSessionOpenFailed

The PowerShell error only contains the first part of the SSH error message and is not very useful.
