Just loaded a fresh version of Cygwin-1.7 on a new machine and ran
ssh-host-config without any problems.

However it keeps failing to start up.
The log shows:
	Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_ecdsa_key

The config file /etc/sshd_config has the lines:
	#HostKey /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
	#HostKey /etc/ssh_host_ecdsa_key

This seems quite wrong - both to have the repeated lines and to have
the name 'ecdsa' rather than just straight 'dsa'

Thanks,
Jeff
