Richard,
Here is the confirmation about sub system in /etc/ssh/sshd_config

# sftp subsystem
Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

#l s -l /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 97272 Feb 7 2006
/usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

I have restarted the server and sshd but no luck.

There is a couple of things I don't 'get' about your post. You say you
installed openssh but the log you show is from Sun's ssh. Are you running
the correct daemon? Perhaps you should have run /etc/init.d/openssh start.
If that isn't the issue then one other thing is that you say you ran the
command
sftp -v sshd@server
but you surely shouldn't be connecting as sshd which is a restricted
account used only to run the sshd daemon. Any attempts to connect to this
account will surely fail since it doesn't have a valid shell.
