I have gotten to the bottom of my issue. It was not ssh it was one of the daemons I am starting out of inittab. It was not sucessfully backgrounding so init never finished. Weird one. As always thankyou for the help.

I have sshd running on the device, and it is working correctly. I can ssh to the box all day, I just can not ssh out or to localhost. Since "ssh -t" is not working what other advice might someone be able to bestow upon me? Again thanks in advance. Andrew
