But then again, while developing, you don't want
different host keys associated to the same host.
I.e you don't want /etc/ssh _and_ /home/luser/myssh_server_keys
on the same host and if you have that, you want both dirs to
contain the same keys but with different perms.

All this - since the ssh client gets confused
otherwise.
