The rc.d mechanism suggests to use /etc/rc.d/sshd control
script for SSH server operations instead of the "bare"
binary. The control script checks for the variable
${sshd_enable} which has to be set, or it won't start.
By the way, it's not a problem if /etc/rc.conf is empty.
In this case, defaults are used, but:
% grep sshd /etc/defaults/rc.conf
sshd_enable="NO" # Enable sshd
As you see, sshd_enable is set to "NO" by default.
