sshd service patch

The sshd service is using ssh-keygen to generate missing SSH keys. If
ssh-keygen is missing, it prints the following message:

> /etc/rc.d/sshd: WARNING: /usr/bin/ssh-keygen does not exist.

It makes sense when the key is not generated yet and cannot be created because
ssh-keygen is missing.

The problem is that even if the key is present on the host, the sshd service
would still warn about missing ssh-keygen (even though it does not need it).
