I have had the same problem, and, as far as i can tell, what is going
on is that the client looks for hostkeys in either /etc/ssh/hostkeys or
in ~/.ssh2/hostkeys (the user's home directory) when making the initial
connection. However, it's only willing to look in ~/.ssh2/hostkeys
when rekeying, so if you have a central key database, you can't use
rekeying. Presumably this is something that is going to be fixed, but
i don't know - i have not yet tried 2.4.0.
