YW. :-)  Please feel free to expand, clarify, edit, and/or otherwise
improve upon the procedure and repost.  For example, do steps 5a, 5b,
and 5c, run ssh-host-config, do step 5d, and then run 'net start sshd'.


The best solution would be to patch ssh-host-config:

    2009-06-12 20:44:07 Administrator@p43400e ~
    $ which ssh-host-config
    /usr/bin/ssh-host-config

    2009-06-12 20:44:22 Administrator@p43400e ~
    $ file `which ssh-host-config `
    /usr/bin/ssh-host-config: Bourne-Again shell script text executable

    2009-06-12 20:46:33 Administrator@p43400e ~
    $ less `which ssh-host-config `

Nice code; patching it to accomplish the chmod/ chown steps would be an
interesting and educational challenge.  :-)
