+Actually enable server hostkey publication.

+Streamline host key generation, publication, verification.  See

+Consider the default permissions for

 Make sure alternate ports are handled for known_hosts.

 Add environment variables sections to man pages.
 
 Environment variable scoping.
 
 Move environment variable precedence before conf file.

 When using ssh-proxycommand, if only host keys found are expired or
