I went to go look at the source for OpenSSH, but it looks like this was
fixed somewhere along the line, maybe in ssh.h?

#ifndef ETCDIR
#define ETCDIR			"/etc"
define SSH_SYSTEM_HOSTFILE	ETCDIR "/ssh_known_hosts"
#define SSH_SYSTEM_HOSTFILE2	ETCDIR "/ssh_known_hosts2"

(I don't have the old ssh.h to see if this is where the problem was).  I
just used the new OpenSSH and it properly sets HostKey to
/etc/ssh_known_hosts instead of /usr/local/etc/ssh_known_hosts in
sshd_config.  Thanks to whoever fixed this!

John
