I am using Ubuntu 7.10 and the version 1:4.6p1-5ubuntu0.2 of the openssh-server package. I would expect that sshd is started after boot but it will not and I found this in /var/log/auth.log: sshd[4527]: error: Bind to port 22 on 10.1.1.22 failed: Cannot assign requested address. sshd[4527]: fatal: Cannot bind any address. Once the System is started you can start/stop the sshd with the /etc/init.d/ssh script without any problems.
