Deep in the manual page for sshd(8), it says:
/etc/ssh_host_key.pub, /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub,
/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
These three files contain the public parts of the host keys.
These files should be world-readable but writable only by root.
Their contents should match the respective private parts.
These
files are not really used for anything; they are provided for
the
convenience of the user so their contents can be copied to
known
hosts files. These files are created using ssh-keygen(1).
If you'll run ssh-keygen(1), you can create those keys. You'll probably
need two, one RSA and one DSA. Use -t to specify which one.
