Since 98 has no concept of a service or users you start sshd in the normal way. After running ssh-host-config you should be able to just run /usr/sbin/sshd from a prompt - it will daemonize itself, you shouldn't have to use "&" or nohup etc. That's pretty much it. If you want it to automatically start you'll have to add it to the registry autorun key or to the startup group, or something along those lines. If you want to use password authentication you'll need to use the 'crypt' utility to set the second field in /etc/passwd to the desired hash. Public-key auth should work the same as a normal NT or *nix system. I have to say though that sshd with win98 is probably not extensively tested, so I wouldn't be surprised if you run into some issues. Though it might work fine. Security-wise though it's kind of like adding a deadbolt to a door made out of thin balsa wood.
