where to call sshd?

[mike h]

In RedHat 6.0 (and in 5.2 I think) you should make a startup script and
place it in /etc/rc.d/init.d.  The easiest way is to copy an existing one
and modify it to suit your needs.

Once you've got a script for it, use chkconfig to add it to the list of
software to be loaded at boot.  Note that chkconfig allows you to control
which software/daemons load in different runlevels.

For example, say you've made your script /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd and you
want it to be run while booting into runlevels 2 (multi user, no NFS), 3
(true multi user), and 5 (X window system):

chkconfig --add sshd
chkconfig --level 235 sshd on

'man 8 chkconfig' ought to fill in anything I've missed.
