$ ll /etc/ssh*
-rwxr-x--- 1 rberber None 1.2K May 20  2004 /etc/ssh_config*
-rw------- 1 SYSTEM  None  672 Mar 18  2002 /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
-rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM  None  600 Mar 18  2002 /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub

-rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM  None  329 Mar 18  2002 /etc/ssh_host_key.pub
-rw------- 1 SYSTEM  None  887 Mar 18  2002 /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key
-rw-r--r-- 1 SYSTEM  None  220 Mar 18  2002 /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub
-rw-r--r-- 1 rberber None 2.5K Apr  3 03:41 /etc/sshd_config

The UID is SYSTEM not sshd.  Did you use /usr/bin/ssh-host-config?
