hi Ivan,

There were a few changes made to the security/openssh package a few
days ago to warn if old configuration files are found. You should see
a message to this effect:

<-- snip
WARNING: previous configuration file $path found.

The config files for ${PKGNAME} must be located in:

        @PKG_SYSCONFDIR@

You will need to ensure your configuration files and/or keys are
placed in the correct directory before using ${PKGNAME}.

You may not have seen this if your pkgsrc has not been updated
recently.
