If it works, we may as well. Instructions are in README.privsep .

A general request to anyone upgrading or reinstalling machines - please
remember to backup and reuse the SSH host keys to minimise the
"WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED!"'s. I've mostly
stopped saying "yes" blindly to those - you just can't trust the
network these days.

To cut down on confusion, I'm planning to run this command at 3pm ;

morwong# mv /etc/ssh* /usr/local/etc/bkp20021101/_etc/
