Try add to:

/etc/rc.conf

line:

sshd_enable="YES"

and reboot system.

This metod work on me.

in case of openssh-portable, you need to start it with /usr/local/etc/rc.d/openssh rc.d script.

Don't forget to set the

openssh_enable="YES"

variable in /etc/rc.conf.

Well, if any single port should be in documentation...

Do you know openssh is already included in the base system? (That's what the rc script that you were initially using belongs to.)

There is no need to restart.
Just enable it in /etc/rc.conf and start it.

Or if you just want to test it before adding it to /etc/rc.conf you can use: /etc/rc.d/sshd forcestart
