	[PATCH] ssh_config(5) says "retrospectively" instead of "retroactively"

Agreed, but that whole sentence is confusing.  How about this:

! Note that unhashed names and addresses already in known hosts files
   will not be hashed automatically, but these may be manually hashed
   using
   .Xr ssh-keygen 1 .

Well, I was going for minimal change.....  ;-)  Anyway, I've taken your
idea and put it into patch form (attached).

Please not that ssh_config(5) belongs to OpenSSH which is contributed
software.  If you bring up your suggestions to the OpenSSH guys, the
changes will automatically come to FreeBSD with the next import.

The submitter has brought this up with the upstream vendor 
(OpenSSH).  Thanks for the report!
