I am under the impression that you compiled your own sshd. Is that true? If so, I think you have to enable tcp wrapper support for it to work correctly. Then, even though it doesn't run from inetd, you would need a line in /etc/hosts.allow like: sshd: all to make it work. I never compiled my own sshd. I've always used the one that came with the distribution and had to use hosts.allow to enable it as I have all services denied by default.
