can't stop sshd from startup

Your welcome;

I was not able to figure out an other way.. took me long enough to figure this out.
Reading the ssh scripts....

For Lucid, the ssh server is started by upstart which runs scripts in /etc/init. The script /etc/init/ssh.conf is the file you need to edit. I think that commenting out the line start on filesystem by putting a hash in front will probably do the trick.

But reading that script further, it looks like creating a file /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run is the way you should do it, but I don't know if that will prevent starting the daemon when you want it with sudo start ssh.
