running sshd server from home directory without root access
Hi, I managed to install openssh from source on my home directory on a server I don't have root access to. I had problems with privilege separation because of permissions initially so I disabled it in sshd_config. But when I run sshd from where I installed it by doing
~/local/sbin/sshd, nothing at all happens. Theres no mention of sshd in the process list either. Why isn't sshd running?
The whole reason why I'm doing all this is becasue I want to use this server as a middleman to reverse tunnel to my home machine (which is behind a NAT firewall) so that I can connect to my home machine from anywhere through this server. I'm following the directions
here. Does anybody have any suggestions?

NAME
sss_ssh_authorizedkeys - get OpenSSH authorized keys
SYNOPSIS
sss_ssh_authorizedkeys [options] USER
DESCRIPTION
sss_ssh_authorizedkeys acquires SSH public keys for user USER and outputs them in OpenSSH authorized_keys format (see the "AUTHORIZED_KEYS
FILE FORMAT" section of sshd(8) for more information).
sshd(8) can be configured to use sss_ssh_authorizedkeys for public key user authentication if it is compiled with support for either
"AuthorizedKeysCommand" or "PubkeyAgent" sshd_config(5) options.
If "AuthorizedKeysCommand" is supported, sshd(8) can be configured to use it by putting the following directive in sshd_config(5):
AuthorizedKeysCommand /usr/bin/sss_ssh_authorizedkeys
If "PubkeyAgent" is supported, sshd(8) can be configured to use it by using the following directive for sshd(8) configuration:
PubKeyAgent /usr/bin/sss_ssh_authorizedkeys %u
This is an experimental feature, please use http://fedorahosted.org/sssd to report any issues.
