If you have it invoked by inetd.conf you don't have to start sshd explicitly,
inetd will do that when it gets rtaffic on port 22.
I think you'd be better off taking it out of inetd.conf and just start it up
in one of your startup scripts. (I can't see what OS you are running so you'll
have to figure that out.) Just start it manually until you get it working right.
Good luck,
