Does this work for DSA though?

[root@ringworld:v3 ~]# ssh-keygen -lf /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key is not a valid key file.
[root@ringworld:v3 ~]# ssh-keygen -lf /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
1024 fc:1f:cf:8c:5c:dc:10:d7:80:21:a3:cc:3b:b2:9f:9d root@ringworld.office1.bg
[root@ringworld:v3 ~]#

Seems to work OK for the RSA host key..
This is on a -stable rebuilt today:

[root@ringworld:v3 ~]# ssh -V
SSH Version OpenSSH_2.3.0 green@FreeBSD.org 20010321, protocol versions 1.5/2.0.
Compiled with SSL (0x0090601f).

G'luck,
Peter
