SSH not starting up at boot

Hi list,

I installed OpenSSH 2.9.9p2 (will update to 3.x soon) on a Alpha Server 800.
I created a startup script in /sbin/init.d called 'sshd' but when the server
reboot, sshd is not started. BUT if I start it manually after boot ('sh
/sbin/init.d/sshd start'), it do work. Anything missing ?

Permissions on script is:

# ls -l /sbin/init.d/sshd
-rwxr-x--- 1 bin bin 416 Apr 2 09:06 /sbin/init.d/sshd

Script code:

#
#!/sbin/sh
#

PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
export PATH
KILL="/bin/kill"

Pid=`/sbin/init.d/bin/psmgetpid sshd`

case "$1" in
'start')
        if /usr/sbin/sshd ; then
                echo "SSHD started"
        else
                echo "Cannot start SSHD"
        fi
        ;;
'stop')
        if [ "X$Pid" != "X" ]; then
               $KILL $Pid
        fi
        ;;
*)
        echo "usage: $0 {start|stop}"
        ;;
Esac
