I agree with you. When ssh appeared the default was  /etc. It was not a bad
location but cluttered   /etc. Thats why I  asked  Tatu to use a  configure
switch (--with-etcdir) for that.

I  know we generally don't  allow ports to  touch /etc but  I agree that we
should configure our port to install in  /etc/ssh. It also avoid cluttering
/etc.

Not me. I always use /etc/ssh.
