as root issue these commands:
service sshd start "This will start the sshd service for you."
chkconfig sshd --level 35 on "This will make sure that the sshd service starts in runlevel 3 and each time you boot."

Wayne your a great help. Shh is now running but now when I try and log in through ssh it will not accept my password. I know the password works as I can log in from the console. Just SSH is
not
accpeting the password.

Is this the same client you were using when you connected to you FC2 machine? If this is the case I would suggest you delete your ~/.ssh/known_hosts file. Then try and connect to the FC3 machine. Also check your log files like Scot said. Files I would look at are:
/var/log/secure /var/log/messages
Let us know how it turns out.

I don't see any directories /.ssh/ The only thing in the /var/log/secure is "Password failure for root" There is nothing about the failure in /var/log/messages
Should I be looking at the sshd.config or the ssh.config does anyone have an example of the default config files.

Brian,
As Scot said its not a good thing to ssh as root. Try to ssh as a normal user and see what happens. If that works then I would suggest using a normal user to ssh as and then su - to root.
