sshd won't start on FC4

[patrick]

Yes, sshd is running, but any attempts to connect from another host on
the network fail, and port scans reveal that there is nothing
listening on port 22.

I can live with telling sshd to only listen on IPV4 interfaces -- it
just doesn't seem like I should have to.
