'should not' is not true to fact in the real world

I mentioned we inject a SSH root key for management purposes.  
This is a sample of the 'back-splatter' I get all the time

Starting the ssh service generates several keys, which then 
get 'picked up' off host by our control units.  I have to have 
specil code to address the need to go in and eradicate such 
all the time.  Sample below
