If you are going to run it from inetd with tcpd, you will have
to run it with the following flag from the sshd man page:

       -i     Specifies that sshd is being run from inetd.   Sshd
              is  normally not run from inetd because it needs to
              generate the server key before it  can  respond  to
              the  client,  and  this  may  take tens of seconds.
              Clients would have to wait too long if the key  was
              regenerated  every  time.   However, with small key
              sizes (e.g.  512) using sshd from inetd may be fea-
              sible.

If you configure it with '--with-libwrap' it will do all the
tcpd stuff for you (including looking at the hosts.[allow|deny]
files), then you can run it from rc.local and it won't have
to regenerate the key every time.
