where to call sshd?

[C. Hunter]

If you run sshd from inetd, you have to compile it with lib wrappers (the
exact option is in the INSTALL file), and to start it with the -i switch
from /etc/inetd.conf

Also, since it generates the session key on the fly, it will take slightly
longer to initiate a connection when called from inetd. (not a big deal
though. i do it this way and its not really a bother)
