It should get generated automatically when you do a "make install"
(or install the binary package). Out of dozens of systems, I've never had
to generate one by hand.
You didn't say what platform you are running. If you installed the
RPMs for RedHat or installed OpenSSH, the file is /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key,
not /etc/ssh_host_key. Make sure you know where it's suppose to go.
If you really need to, the command to generate the host key would
be this:
ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh_host_key -N ''
