[c-nsp] SXI(3) code status?

Breaks as in after forcing a sup switchover while on console
subsequent SSH connections are refused, as it seems the private key is
missing/unreadable.


This is logged:

Nov 18 10:16:08.211: SSH2 0: RSA_sign: private key not found
Nov 18 10:16:08.211: SSH2 0: signature creation failed, status -1


Clearing RSA keys and re-generating did not help.

Clear RSA keys, *reboot box*, and re-generate did fix.
