Comment 102 for bug 497299

I'm having the same problem: Ubuntu 10.10 on a Dell Dimension 8250. I do have /etc/network/interfaces containing the lines:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

But Upstart doesn't launch sshd.

If I run:
sudo service ssh start

I am told that ssh is already running.

If I run:
 sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
then I get:
 * Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd [ OK ]

?? Though I'm not too conversant with all this, I thought these two were supposed to do the same thing ??
