Hi Loryan.

1. Create a file in /etc/rc.d/init.d called sshd and paste this into it:

#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
'start')
        if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/sshd -a -f /etc/sshd_config ]; then 
                echo "Starting the SSH daemon..."
                /usr/local/sbin/sshd
        fi
        ;;
'stop')
        /usr/bin/killall sshd
                echo "Stopping the SSH daemon..."
        ;;
*)
        echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/sshd { start | stop }"
        ;;

esac
exit 0


** you might need to change the path to sshd if yours is different 
than the one in this script **.  Do "which sshd" to verify its location.

2. cd ../rc2.d and do ln -s ../init.d S75sshd

3. Log out of your SSH session temporarily enable telnet, telnet in and 
test the script as so:

/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S75sshd stop
/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S75sshd start

4. Log out, disable telnet and you're good to go.

5. Take care
