First, you said you
/sbin/service sshd -start
Probably a typo, but you're not supposed to have "-" in front.
Assuming that was done correctly, try
$ ps -aux | egrep sshd
and make sure there's a sshd process running.
Also try
$ netstat -a
and make sure there's something "LISTEN"ing on the "*:ssh" port.
If all that is true, kill sshd. Then, probably as root, run
# sshd -d
and on the client end run
$ ssh -v bp6.stat.rice.edu
and see what the output is on both machines. If the daemon on
bp6.stat.rice.edu is getting "hit", then you'll see output from
the debug sshd. On the client side, you'll also see debug output.
That may (but not always) give you some clues.
One other thing to check before doing all that is /var/log/messages to
see if the daemon you were running was giving any errors.
