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 :(
