sshd needs to be started as root, in order to bind to port 22,
where it is listening per default. Try 'telnet localhost 22'
directly from the box.

Shouldn't have any impact, or your setup is really broken.

You need the start/stop script, with the proper run level links
in order to start/stop sshd on reboot automatic. Ask your admin
about it, depends on the kind of *nix you are running, where
those script/links are.
