I think what might be confusing, is the fact that sshd dies due to
bind() failing, and it should; but you will only see this in the syslog,
NOT on the command line.

E.g. the /etc/rc.d/sshd script will NOT give an error, because the
/usr/bin/sshd it calls will fork, and as soon as the fork is okay, the
original instance with exit with 0.  The forked instance is what will
die on bind(), so you will not see any failures from it.
