If you installed sshd from ports on a 2.x or 3.x box, look for its
startup file in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/.
If you're working on a 4.0 box, sshd is launched based on parameters you
place in /etc/rc.conf (use the examples found in /etc/defaults/rc.conf to
assist you in proper syntax).
You do not, however, want to launch sshd with the -d parameter in your
startup scripts. From the manpage:
-d Debug mode. The server sends verbose debug output
to the system log, and does not put itself in the
background. The server also will not fork and will
only process one connection. This option is only
intended for debugging for the server.
sshd -d is only intended for use when you're actively monitoring the
daemon in an interactive manner.
If running a client with "ssh -v" is not an option, perhaps you'll have
some luck tweaking the syslogging parameters on sshd in an attempt to
extract more detailed information out of the daemon. Try adjusting the
LogLevel value in your sshd_config file as per the manpage:
LogLevel
Gives the verbosity level that is used when logging messages from
sshd. The possible values are: QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE
and DEBUG. The default is INFO. Logging with level DEBUG vio-
lates the privacy of users and is not recommended.
On a 4.0 box, this file will be in /etc/ssh/
