    Greetings --

    I'm having difficulties starting ssh as a daemon in Debian sid. My
    version is 3.6.1p2-11. When I issue

    /etc/init.d/ssh start

    I get the normal "Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd", but in
    fact nothing starts (or at least it terminates at once -- I can't see
    anything even starting).

    In contrast, when I issue simply

    /usr/sbin/sshd -D

    then ssh starts and works fine. Has anyone encountered this problem?
    There is no trace of any errors in the logs.

    I'm baffled and would very much appreciate suggestions.

    Please cc me.

    Cheers,
    David
