ssh on 2.1 - problems getting sshd running

[bobdobbs]

Hi all.

I recently got my iphone updated to 2.1, using pwnagetool.
I then used cydia to install openssh.

Trouble is, I can't seem to get sshd running on the iphone.

First of all, I couldn't connect to the iphone via ssh.
I discovered that sshd wasn't running on the iphone.

I opened up a term on the phone and tried "sshd".
I got an error message saying that the absolute path was required to run sshd.

So, I did 'which sshd'. This returned the absolute path:
/usr/sbin/shhd.

I tried running sshd by typing the whole path, but then got an error message saying that the host key couldn't be loaded.

How do I get shh and sshd running on my phone?
Its never been this much of a task on previous versions of openssh for the iphone.

I used BossPrefs to turn OpenSSH on and off, if that helps at all. Kind of new to jailbreaking iPhones.

I used BossPrefs to turn OpenSSH on and off, if that helps at all. Kind of new to jailbreaking iPhones.

I thought of that.
I figured that bossprefs would have some kind of magic in it that could get the daemon started.
So, I installed it.
But, no luck.

Bossprefs actually showed the ssh service as running when it wasn't.
When I used bossprefs to turn ssh off and then on again, it still woudn't actually run.

I confirmed this by using ps.
