add support for RSA to SSH2. please test.
there are now 3 types of keys: RSA1 is used by ssh-1 only,
RSA and DSA are used by SSH2.
you can use 'ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ssh2_rsa_file' to generate RSA
keys for SSH2 and use the RSA keys for hostkeys or for user keys.
SSH2 RSA or DSA keys are added to .ssh/authorised_keys2 as before.
- (djm) Fix up Makefile and Redhat init script to create RSA host keys
- (djm) Change to interim version
