Wrong SSHFP on FreeBSD servers

Hi Gavin,

As an addendum to my last mail: I have just found out that the way the
fingerprints are stored in SSHFP does not seem to reflect the same kind
of hash value that is displayed to the user. Ouch. I had a
too-simplistic conversion between the two - that must have been the
source of the mismatch.

I am going to investigate this tomorrow and must have a closer look at
the SSHFP RFC.

Sorry for the trouble!

Ralph
