What many people (including me) do is run a 'backup' sshd at a non-standard
port out of inetd, for use just when the standalone sshd has failed. This
gives you a way to login to restart the regular sshd (or to investigate why
it won't start!), but the latter would still be what most users normally
connect to (at the standard port 22).
