Dear managers!

Thanks a lot for your instantaneous help! In particular I wish to thank

Jim Bostwick <Jim_Bostwick_at_cargill.com>
Steve VanDevender <stevev_at_hexadecimal.uoregon.edu>
Goetz Golla <golla_at_intetra.net>
"Sean O'Connell" <sean_at_stat.duke.edu>
Oyanarte Portilho <portilho_at_fis.unb.br>

who sent their scripts along. One of these I put at the very end of this
message.

Making an entry into /etc/inittab was strongly discouraged. The general
consensus was to put the startup script (lets call it sshd for
convenience) into /sbin/init.d and link it to /sbin/rc3.d by means of

        ln -s /sbin/init.d/sshd /sbin/rc3.d/S97sshd

Now everything works fine for me.

Regards

Peter
