Sshd does not exist in /etc/rc.d or the local startup directories
-
In-place upgrade to 2.2-RELEASE (i386) built on Thu Jan 22 14:04:25 CST 2015 on an APU4
sshd is not starting up after having upgraded in place. No errors present for sshd that I can find, yet the service remains stopped even after cycling the gui checkbox, gui service status "play" button, and the console option 14. When using the prompt from the serial console to check the status of sshd I find:
/root: service sshd status sshd does not exist in /etc/rc.d or the local startup directories (/usr/local/etc/rc.d)This seems to be the smoking gun and potentially where my issue differs from previous threads. I'm not sure why the sshd would have gotten wiped out from rc.d, and what the best method of putting it back would be.
Other things I checked:
Per this thread: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=87548.0 I tried working from the console option 14 cycling through the enable/disable options and rebooting in between. FYI, my console displays "Enable Secure Shell (sshd)" during both expected states (enabled and not) although that could be because sshd never actually starts; I'll check again if I can ever actually get it running.I also verified the new certs were generated (although no logs suggested this was an issue) and in place per this thread: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=87750.msg482586#msg482586
Here is a listing of my ssh directory:

Do a fresh install and restore configuration backup.

Thanks, that gave me an excuse to move to the 64 bit install. Everything went smoothly and populated /etc/rc.d appropriately.
