Yep. Both configuration files don't have an IP to bind to, so they bind to
the only IP avaialable: the outside IP. Config files haven't changed from
the defaults provided by the OpenSSH consortium.

Yeah. I tried running both sshd and ssh with the debug flags, but those only
debug the actual communications protocol -- no error messages show up, only
the standard message for authentication failures.

Point taken, but I've not had a problem running it through inetd on my own
local server (tank.dyndns.org). Config files are identical between the two,
so it has to be something else somewhere...
