hi john, yes indeed, i am very aware of what sshd is and have tried initializing it in many different ways. after using sshd -d (thanks chris) sshd seemed to start just fine and i was able to ssh to it. from then on i did not need to use debugging and it would start just fine. it's in my rc.local now and i have kind of washed my hands of it. thanks for your help though.
