What are these Relocated Items: "crypto," "moduli," etc?

MacBook Air M2 Sequoia, up-to-date. I'm the only user.

There are Relocated Items in the Users>Shared folder, as shown in the attached image.

The "moduli" file mentions openBSD, and it has a looooooooong list of number/letter combos within, as formatted/described here: https://man.openbsd.org/moduli.5

Ever since some years I find "Relocated Items" and or "Previously Relocated Items"
in /Users/Shared after each and every update or upgrade.
I was once advised to just delete it all and so I did; I'm still alive and so are my Mac's.
;JOOP!

Ha, I should clear this out more often!

These are default files that a clean installation of macOS will have, which may be different than the files that came from an older version of macOS. The system updater won't overwrite your existing files, but instead puts the new default files in this "Relocated Items" directory.

If you haven't made any changes to /private/etc/ssh yourself, you could also choose to replace the /private/etc/ssh directory with the one located in "Relocated Items". For example:

sudo mv -v /private/etc/ssh /private/etc/ssh.previous
sudo mv -v /Users/Shared/Relocated\ Items/Configuration/private/etc/ssh.system_default /private/etc/ssh

Afterwards, you can delete the "Relocated Items" directory (and the /private/etc/ssh.previous directory).
