[arm-allstar] New Rpi4B install, ssh login, connection refused

Hi all,

I installed on a Rpi4B 2Gb, 16Gb SanDisk SD card.
Pi booted, obtained an IP address on my network
192.168.20.xxx but "ssh -p 222 root at dhcpxxx" fails,
Connection Refused.
RPi2-3-4_V1.6-01_Allstar.img.xz

OK I connect up the HDMI monitor and keyboard and login,
the sshd daemon can't find the /etc/ssh/ssh_host_... key file.

I googled the problem, found:

For a generic method of doing this:
(as root)
        Delete old ssh host keys: rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*  (if they are there)
        ssh-keygen -q -N "" -t dsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
        ssh-keygen -q -N "" -t rsa -b 4096 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
        ssh-keygen -q -N "" -t ecdsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key

And a reboot and it's working.

Next, I note we are running 32bit code on a 64bit processor,
Broadcom BCM2711, Quad core Cortex-A72 (ARM v8) 64-bit SoC @ 1.5GHz
but "cat /proc/cpuinfo" shows:
model name      : ARMv7 Processor rev 3 (v7l)
Hardware        : BCM2835

Do we have plans for a 64bit system?
