/etc/rc.d/sshd should generate all of an RSA1, an RSA, and a DSA key
if it runs and finds them absent. You *are* starting sshd by setting
sshd=3DYES in /etc/rc.conf rather than just executing sshd in
/etc/rc.local, right? (Yes, it's appropriate to copy the package's
rc script from /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d, but it's not necessary to use a
package for this at all; ssh is part of the base system.)

Is it not for you? What version of sshd? (Mine on this i386 laptop
happens to be 1.12, and it dtrt, but this has been working
everywhere for me for quite some time...)
