sshd daemon won't start on AIX 5300-11. No errors returned

I have a server that will not start the sshd daemon. No errors are returned.  See examples below:
# startsrc -s sshd
0513-059 The sshd Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 569546.
:root@cobra:/etc/rc.d/rc2.d:# ps -ef | grep sshd
:root@cobra:/etc/rc.d/rc2.d:#

# Ssshd start
0513-059 The sshd Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 553126.
:root@cobra:/etc/rc.d/rc2.d:# ps -ef | grep sshd
    root 536730 422008   0 09:07:56  pts/0  0:00 grep sshd
:root@cobra:/etc/rc.d/rc2.d:#

Here is what I have installed:
# ssh -V
OpenSSH_5.2p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009


# lslpp -l *ssh*

Doing /usr/sbin/sshd revealed the problem:  A misconfiguration in sshd_config.

Thanks so much for your help -- again!.
