if you installed version 2.4 then check your /etc/rc.d/init.d folder for an ssh*
file and run "/etc/rc.d/init.d/ssh??? start" where ??? is the rest of the file
name.  If you installed 2.2 or below then run sshd2 or ssh2d (can't remember
which).  Also before you start the service up go into /etc/ssh2/sshd2_config and
change the line that says "PermitRootLogin yes" to "PermitRootLogin no" to keep
root from being able to log in directly from ssh.  You can still su or su - to
root, but have to login first as a normal user.
