There's also inetd's tcpwrapper support if you call sshd from inetd for
D/DOS protection.  Inetd and its rate-limiting flags are strongly
recommended for security-minded systems.

Starting sshd from rc.d should never have been made the default, IMO, as
keygen delays are rarely relevant and weren't even back in the days of
300MHz CPUs (18 years ago).  The only reason inetd is not more widely
used today is that many sysadmins aren't familiar with it.
