sshd start weirdness

[Bob Bernstein <rs@bernstein.providence.ri.us>]

sshd will not start, either at boot, or "by hand.". Adding '-d' to the
command line, using /etc/default/ssh, persuades it to start:

# /etc/init.d/ssh start
Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshddebug1: sshd version
OpenSSH_3.6.1p2 Debian 1:3.6.1p2-3
debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA
debug1: private host key: #0 type 1 RSA
debug1: read PEM private key done: type DSA
debug1: private host key: #1 type 2 DSA
socket: Address family not supported by protocol
debug1: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0.
Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22.

This is an i386 unstable, updated a week or so ago, and then again
this morning: ssh 3.6.1p2-3.

(And, what's that "Address family not supported" message saying?)


Best,
