Subject: Re: sshd and kernels > 2.6.8
Suggestions - when you start up sshd, edit the start up script and
include the really verbose flags (-vv, I think), then look at the logs
(ssh developer taught me that one).

Second: use strace when you launch the daemon, and see what files it is
trying to open. Then either relocate them, or symlink them.

Third: If your system is relatively stock, open a bug report with the
vendor. I opened several reports with Red Hat - some they fixed, some
they provided the fix/workaround, some they are not going to fix :(
