Hi Fred and Corinna...

The log file is empty. I don't think that sshd is even getting started. Im a 
little hesitent to just add a --dep without understanding it. My reason is 
that it works sometimes and not others...I can do several restarts in a row 
and sometimes it starts up and sometimes it does not. If there is a race 
condition, a --dep might make the problem go away without fixing it. (I 
fooled myself for a while when I set the service to retry on first failure.) 
It always succeeds when I start it manually.

I read about some deadlock problems on service startup, but I think that was 
for old NT 4.0 stuff. Are you(s) aware of the possibility of anything like 
that here?

Thanks,

...KArl
