[j-nsp] ssh host keys on redundant route-engines

[Clinton Work]

I have noticed that redundant REs on a Juniper M40e generate their own ssh
host keys. Are there any
problems with copying the ssh host keys from the primary RE to the backup
RE? I'm surprised that
JUNOS doesn't sync the SSH host keys by default. I'm running JunOS 5.7R2.4
right now.

Thanks.
