Good to know.

Looks like it's already set to no in the installed config.  From man 
sshd_config it looks like StrictModes applies to checks of the home 
directory and files for the user logging in.  I had tried installing the 
service with '-t' option to sshd, but apparently it still does the perm 
checks on the host keys even in test mode.
