openssh unix dev - Oct 2008 - errors on getaddrinfo(): nodename nor servname provided, or not known

Hello openssh developers,

I had built openssh-4.7p1 on arm-apple-darwin9 platform, but
I get this error when I load sshd using launchd:

root# launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.openssh.sshd.plist
errors on getaddrinfo(): nodename nor servname provided, or not known

When I execute sshd directly, I don't get any warnings or error
messages, but the sshd is not listening on the intended port, and it's
not running.

I didn't change anything significant on the code, except disabling the
use of utmp.h and util.h.

Can anyone pinpoint me on what's wrong ?

Corrections, it's running and listening if I invoked sshd directly.

I may need to find out the proper way of integration of sshd into launchd.

Can you post a normal debug output? ("sshd -ddd") I have no idea how
much
munging is done between launchctl and sshd, but "errors on
getaddrinfo()"
is not a sshd error message AFAIK.

Is ktrace/kdump available? Try comparing manual startup with launchd
startup.
