Hi Chris,
If you run ssh from /etc/inetd.conf the response time will be slower so
you need to shorten the server keys. Put this line in your /etc/inetd.conf
file:
/usr/local/sbin/sshd -i -b 512
This will shorten the server key, but be aware this also makes ssh less
secure. Generally ssh is put into /etc/inetd.conf because TCP wrappers
are compiled into ssh, but ssh doesn't have to be run from inetd. It can
also be run from your /etc/rc files with no security hit.
