% sshd -d

The above will not background, and when it finds the port in use it will
die. Or in this case it dies becuase as non-root it couldn't read the
files it needed:

debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_3.6.1p1 FreeBSD-20030916
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
Disabling protocol version 1. Could not load host key
Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key
sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.
