What about:

    indexnumber=$(md5 -q /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub)

That file gets generated the first time a host is booted with 
sshd_enable="YES" and almost never changes afterward.  Also, literally 
every BSD machine I've ever touched has sshd enabled (although usually 
severely locked down), and I suspect that's true for most people.
