           Summary: /etc/init.d/sshd has hardcoded ssh_host_keys
           Product: openSUSE 10.2
           Version: Final
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Network
        AssignedTo: anicka@xxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: lrupp@xxxxxxxxxx
         QAContact: qa@xxxxxxx


/etc/init.d/sshd contains:
case "$1" in
    start)
        if ! test -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key ; then
        echo Generating /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.
        ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N ''
        fi
[...]

But as described in /etc/ssh/sshd_config :
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key

The hostkey is a config option and can be changed by the user. 

So the init script should first check the config file and afterwards create
and/or use the correct hostkey as described in the config and no hardcoded
keyfile. Using  a fallback is no problem here, but generating the files even if
the user has decided to use other names for them is irritating.
