Excerpt from IBM AIX OpenSSH manual:
Start the sshd daemon by running the command: /usr/bin/startsrc -s sshd
Note: If the AIX machine on which OpenSSH is installed also has GSA installed, the SSH daemon will not start. This is a known problem. You will need to first check to see if the sshd user exists on the system. If not, it should be created with the following commands:
mkgroup sshd
mkuser -a pgrp=sshd login=false home=/var/empty gecos="OpenSSH privilege separation" account_locked=true sshd
Cheers,
