I get

tcp6    0    0 :::22        :::*     LISTEN


on benden and

tcp    0    0 0.0.0.0:22    0.0.0.0:*     LISTEN


on landing

benden:~# ps -ef | grep sshd
root      5557     1  0 Feb15 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/sshd
root     12597 17238  0 16:49 pts/2    00:00:00 grep sshd


landing:~$ ps -ef |grep sshd
root    7615    1    0 13:26 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/sshd
root     7671    7528    0 16:48 tty1 00:00:00 grep sshd


I suspect some of the differences are due to the fact I have sid
running on benden but squeeze on landing

(in case anyone wonders about hostnames they are taken from Anne
McAffreys Pern stories, so have a fort and a telgar as well)
