Hmm, don't know. Just checked that here. No problem to start sshd via
inetd in a 1.1.4 system. Did you insert the sshd line in your services
file:

	sshd	22/tcp

and did you insert the correct path to sshd in inetd.conf? Your entry
should look like:

sshd   stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/sbin/sshd sshd -i
