------- Comment #5 from bugzilla_opensuse@xxxxxxxxxx  2007-06-07 03:19 MST -------
I answer myself:

I created /etc/ssh/sshd_config-TEST, and changed the entrys:

# HostKey for protocol version 1
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key--TEST
# HostKeys for protocol version 2
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key--TEST
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key--TEST                                         

Then I started sshd without creating the keys:
=====================================================
#/usr/sbin/sshd -f /etc/ssh/sshd_config-TEST
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key--TEST
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key--TEST
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key--TEST
Disabling protocol version 1. Could not load host key
Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key
sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.                                         
=====================================================

So, the keys must be present.

I would like to see an automatic check in /etc/init.d/sshd, to see wether other
names for the keys should be used. 

Of course one could change /etc/init.d/sshd to match the keynames, but what
would happen if there is an update for that script? 
And, as Lars said, other keynames are explicitly allowed, so this should be
possible.
