Hi David,

I had the same problem, and it turned out to be caused by McAfee VirusScan 
8.0i.  If Larry's solution doesn't work for you, and if you do in fact have 
McAfee installed, you might want to try making the sshd service dependent on 
the McShield service using a command like:

/usr/bin/regtool -m set 
/machine/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/sshd/DependOnService McShield

It worked for me :)

Rob.
