SSHD does not start
I installed OpenSSH on AIX 5.1 but when I try to start it, it says:

Code:
bash-2.05a# /usr/sbin/sshd
bash-2.05a#
bash-2.05a# tail /var/adm/syslog.out
Jan  8 11:52:22 xyz sshd[1368252]: fatal: Cannot bind any address.

Do you have any network interfaces up?
Code:
ifconfig -au

Can you run the server in debug mode? ie: /path/to/sshd -D -d -e

Yep, the network on this machine is already configured:

Code:
bash-2.05a# ifconfig -au
en0: flags=4e080863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,GROUPRT,64BIT,PSEG>
        inet 192.168.2.7 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255
lo0: flags=e08084b<UP,BROADCAST,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,GROUPRT,64BIT>
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 127.255.255.255
        inet6 ::1/0
         tcp_sendspace 65536 tcp_recvspace 65536

This is the output of the debug mode:

Code:
bash-2.05a# which sshd
/usr/sbin/sshd
bash-2.05a# /usr/sbin/sshd -D -d -e
debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_4.1p1

You have a DNS problem (host name, IP address, name-IP resolution), it seems.
