[gentoo-amd64] daemons won't start

[DR GM SEDDON]

Hello,
I've tried gnome services, rc-update.  I cannot get sshd or dhcp to 
start at boot.  dhcpcd start eth0 starts networking.  If I 
'/etc/init.d/sshd start' I get 'Error: not enough args'.  Can anyone help?

Try running 
/usr/sbin/sshd -d -d -d -e -f /etc/ssh/sshd_config
and seeing what it spits out.

What does you /etc/init.d/sshd file contain?

'/etc/sssh/sshd_config no such file or dir'.  This is likely the prob, 
how do I fix?

Was that a typo?  it should be /etc/ssh/sshd_config, not 
/etc/sssh/sshd_config (extra 's').

Cheers,

The exact message received when you run "rc-update add sshd default"?

That'll be a problem. It'll need a config file.

http://www.faqs.org/docs/securing/chap15sec122.html

Change the IP address and remove the AllowUsers directive (unless you  
want to restrict to a certain set of users).

Yours,
Craig

Are you saying that after you added an sshd_config to /etc/ssh you  
still get the error '/etc/ssh/sshd_config no such file or dir'?

If not, perhaps you could post the output of the command I gave you  
now that it can find the file?

Yours,
Craig

Try running emerge -pv ssh and post the output here.
