I knew there was a very good reason not to do that :)

Does that mean that sshd generates a different RSA key every time
you boot/restart it? That seems terribly inefficient... not to
mention a pain for key authentication (considering that in
principle when we encounter a new key we should verify with the
sysadmin of the remote machine that it's the right key).

In any case, I intended to reccomment inetd for telnet and *ftp*,
not telnet and *ssh* - excuse the typo. 

Cheers,
Dave.
