Why not put a line in there that can be used by the init command that actually starts sshd. $SSHD $OPTIONS && success || failure $OPTIONS has no value by default, so if something like OPTIONS="-f /your/config/file" were put into the specialized sshd file in /etc/sysconfig (or even into the beginning of the specialized init script) it should work. > -- > William Hooper >
