All of this is taken care of for you automatically by ssh-host-config,
so this implies that you did not run the script.  There should never be
a need to touch these files manually, so this would be a very bad thing
to have in any FAQ.  If users don't know to run ssh-host-config then
*that* needs to be in the FAQ, but not this.
