By mistake. Sorry for the otherwise empty quoted reply. I have no idea what I pressed that sent it off while I was reading.

And, since I am committed to writing anyway, recall that a host key goes into /etc/ssh. Personal keys go into ~/.ssh.

As to why I am not using the default name for the rsa host key. That is because I am testing and I would rather not disturb things too much given my ignorance of ssh matters.

I am startled to learn, if it is a fact, that existing SELinux policy is tied to the default file names. Given that the host key file names are user configurable in in sshd_config one would think that a slightly more flexible approach is called for.
