Description

I had tons of troubles trying to get public key authentication going, until I slapped on three -d for sshd that showed me that my authorized_keys was not even being used and that the real issue was with administrators_authorized_keys. Google does not show any results for docs on this and I cannot find it mentioned in the wiki either.

Can you please document this somewhere and link it from the public keys documentation? It took me 2 months to spot https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/issues/1324, explaining some of the background.
