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.
