Curiouser and curiouser. Off the top of me head, I don't see why that
should happen. ssh should bind to a particular port (22) on a "wildcard"
interface by default, not that it matters particularly.

I think you want to put it in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ rather than inittab. Then
you can either do the symlinks manually:
/etc/rc.d/rc0.d/> ln -s ../init.d/sshd K25sshd
/etc/rc.d/rc1.d/> ln -s ../init.d/sshd K25sshd
/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/> ln -s ../init.d/sshd S55sshd
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/> ln -s ../init.d/sshd S55sshd
/etc/rc.d/rc4.d/> ln -s ../init.d/sshd S55sshd
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/> ln -s ../init.d/sshd S55sshd
/etc/rc.d/rc6.d/> ln -s ../init.d/sshd K25sshd
or do "chkconfig --add sshd" or "config sshd on" or something like that.
If you've not got a "/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd" file, I can send you the one
I've got here (a standard RH7.0 one).

Have fun, (but I suspect this wont solve you problem)
