this should happen during installation; youre not supposed to have to
make the HOST key manually, just your own RSA personal key.
if you have a build tree then you can do "make hostinstall" which will
just generate the keys without installing the binaries, but thats part
of the standard make install as well.

newer ssh/nonexportable-crypto RPMs and .debs are available at
ftp://ftp.replay.com/pub/crypto
(hosted in a country with less insane export laws)
please do NOT use ssh <= 1.2.27 compiled with the rsaref library (aka the
US version), as there is a well publicized possible security issue with
older clients and that library. 1.2.2x are safe as long as you dont
use RSAREF (illegal in the US, but who cares).
