Thanks for all answers!
I treid to start 2 sshDs via rc.conf (not rc.local).

I just used 2 times sshd_flags=xyz
1st: sshd_flags="-f /etc/ssh/sshd_config" #Mainserver
2nd: sshd_flags="-f /etc/ssh/sshd_config_users" #2nd Server

It is the same phy. Server but include the sshd_configs there 2 diffrent
IPs. So I wonder that the server started the 2nd sshD for the user-sshD
(wich works well) but not the 1st sshD for the mainserver.

I think the 2nd sshd_config "overwrote" the 1st sshd_config even I don't
know why. I'll try Maxim Bourmistrovs Idea even I don't know why my
rc.conf failed.

To be precise: I don't see any line in the rc.conf wich prohebit the
followring:

sshd_flags="-f /etc/ssh/sshd_config"
sshd_flags="-f /etc/ssh/sshd_config_users"

Both configurations are the same.
The only difference is the IP the server listen on and the keys it use.
And much more suspect: Because the configuration is the same: Why does
the User-sshD use DSA-Keys but the primary server dosn't?

It makes me a littlebit nervous because I maybe did something wrong
even I don't see any misstakes in the sshD-config (I posted it already).
:-/

But I'll try Maxims Idea after a nice guy enabled sshD manualy. :)
Thanks for all responses and maybe somebody is able to tell me why DSA
works for the 2nd Server but not for the 1st even the configuration is
the same.

Friendly greetings,
vH
