Looking at moussh's code, I find it uses
fixed-auth-agent-req-2%rodents.montreal.qc.ca@localhost, then
fixed-auth-agent-req%rodents.montreal.qc.ca@localhost, then auth-agent-req.  In
the other direction, it uses fixed-auth-agent%rodents-montreal.qc.ca@localhost or
auth-agent.  I don't see any @openssh.com anywhere here.  (The only
@openssh.com name moussh understands in any sense is
keepalive%openssh.com@localhost as a channel request, which moussh never
generates and rejects whenever it is attempted by the peer.)

It is however possible that, as a consequence, moussh agent forwarding
doesn't interoperate; I haven't done detailed interop testing with
OpenSSH.

I no longer recall where I got the idea that auth-agent-req and
auth-agent, without any @domain, were appropriate names.
