Starting SSH services

[Ryan Hennig]

I've just installed the openssh packages on a webserver, and now I am trying
to figure out how to start the sshd service so that I can login with ssh.  I
have scoured the openssh.com site, and all of their install instructions
stop after the sshd program is installed, with no mention of how to get the
thing to start accepting ssh logins (and also restart after a reboot).

I am very new to linux system administration, so perhaps somebody could also
point me to some tutorial on starting and managing services in linux, or
some other good sysadmin tutorial.

Thanks.
