I thought so too. But, the keys are read somehow, because I have to
verify the fingerprint before logging in.

Hmm. I think you're getting the public key information transmitted by
the server, generated from the *private* ssh keys. Do you have the
private SSH keys for the host?

No way.

I'm sorry, I was unclear. Do they *exist* at /etc/ssh/.?

And are you possibly connecting to a manually installed SSH daemon that
puts its SSH keys somewhere else?

That's my guess, and I've asked the administrator where the keys might
be. Still waiting for a response on that.
