How did I Break ssh?

[Martin McCormick]

	Every attempt to connect to anything from a new FreeBSD
system results in a "host key verification failed."

	ssh 127.0.0.1 even fails this way.

	I started with a new FreeBSD4.7 installation and
un-tarred the contents of another 4.7 system to essentially clone
this one.

	My tar ball purposefully did not have the /etc/ssh
directory in it so as to not overwrite any of the files in the
new installation so I ended up with all the proper key files like
I should.

	I can successfully connect to the system from remote hosts
so sshd is working.  I even regenerated my own host key with
ssh-keygen -tdsa and that worked.

	Is there anywhere else besides my directory and /etc/ssh
I should look to see what got clobbered?

	It worked fine before I unpacked the tar ball.  I even
deliberately deleted all the host keys in /etc/ssh and made it
regenerate new ones.  Other than the expected effect of causing
the remote systems to complain about the host identity changing,
nothing else happened.
