This will help getting you running from the command line:
If your files are owned and only readable by SYSTEM, it's harder to run sshd
from the command line. Try either:
Changing /etc/ssh*key* to be owned by the user you are starting sshd as
OR
Specifying a new host key with -h: /usr/sbin/sshd -h your_host_key.
You can either copy /etc/ssh*key somewhere, or create another one with
ssh-keygen.
