Hmm, that's a good point, the manpage says:
-p, --pidfile pid-file
Check whether a process has created the file pid-file.
and since I was actually cloning things to have two sshd processes
running on different ports, presumably start-stop-daemon was seeing the
:22 one and not
My understanding is that start-stop-daemon "--pidfile" option is used to
match an existing process (and not start anything is it already exists),
not to create a pidfile.
So it should be present AND match whatever is in PidFile ?
