ps was giving me nothing unusual. netstat -a gave me nothing helpful. Turns out I had the network.conf a little messed up for what I was trying to do. I have only eth0, but still was setting up an eth1. I suspect sshd was trying to start on eth1. Its all working now!
Thanks to all of you who offered info. I know just enough Unix (and that's useland not admin) to get myself into trouble.

(ie eth0 and eth1). As long as you have port 22 on eth0 blocked, you're not going to have anyone connecting from the external side. Thus running the sshd on 0.0.0.0 is safe enough. To find out if a server is running on a particular port, you use the netstat command: netstat -an or netstat -a if you have an interest in human readable names. What does ps tell you?
