Assuming you compiled openssh from source as latest (with: ./configure,
make, make install) , the executable will be located at:
/usr/local/sbin/sshd.

If it's not, change my line to correspond with your location.

do "cd /etc/rc.d"
edit the file rc.local:

 after #!/bin/sh (should be 1st line), add this:

<start copying from here>
if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/sshd ]; then
   /usr/local/sbin/sshd
fi
<stop copying>

the if statement checks that sshd actually exists, and only then start it.
*important* there MUST be a space between the "-x" and the "[", as well as
beteed the ".../sshd" and the "]" - IT WON'T WORK OTHERWISE.

save and leave the editor.
now kill the sshd. now do "./rc.local" - if everything is ok, sshd should
be luanched!

that's it.
