That is, did you install from ports or binaries? In that case, your configuration file may be in /usr/local/etc or /usr/local/etc/sshd instead of /etc/sshd. That would also account for why the rc script wasn't working correctly as it's path points to the base system install of ssh.

It sometimes does that, depending on how the login type is set up in the sshd_config file.

Re: sshd config config file question
The daemon is up and has been up for a long time. In fact, when I made these changes to sshd_config, for instance as a test maxauthtries to 3 I also reloaded it during a ssh terminal session. After which I logged back in and as a test, purposely errored the tries; it still defaulted to 6 despite the sshd_config file change and reloading. when I say I get no message I mean to state as such: $/etc/rc.d/sshd status <--carriage return $ <--no message after return.

sshd config config file question
Newbie question, I've made a change to /etc/ssh/sshd_config such as #MaxAuthTries 6 to MaxAuthTries 3 afterwards I /etc/rc.d/sshd reload as user root the change did not propagate? Any ideas? Am I doing this correctly? Also when I run: /etc/rc.d/sshd status I do not get any feedback. Am I editing the correct file?
