sshd will run even if you're having problems connecting to it.  I'm just
making sure that you are testing with a running server.  If not, then
you want to make sure the server is running first.

I was suggesting that you run sshd with all the debug flags
(i.e. "-d -d -d") to see if you'd get more useful information
about your problem.
