I wanted to start sshd during bootup and have created a soft link /etc/rc2.d/s98sshd -> /etc/init.d/sshd. sshd file has the script written below, but whenever I restart the server, sshd is not running and I have to execute "/etc/rc2.d/s98sshd start" to start the ssh daemon manually. Any help would be appreciated.

I think the link must begin with a capital S, S98sshd.

That was a great help, Thanks a lot!
