A repost of your question from yesterday??

Again: did you check which sshd version is running by opening a telnet
connection to port 22 ?
telnet 127.0.0.1 22 should do the trick

If no sshd is running, try "which sshd" so you'll see which sshd daemon
you're trying to start.
Probably you're still trying to start /usr/sbin/sshd instead of the new one
at /usr/local/sbin/sshd

Also make sure that the following line is in /etc/rc.conf and reboot after
you modified it:
sshd_program="/usr/local/sbin/sshd"

Please do not repost your question each day. Try the tips you may receive,
and give us some new feedback if it still does'nt work.
