Roger, that looks like you're getting errors trying to bind to all IPv6 
addresses (::) and none when you try to bind to 
all IPv4 addresses(0.0.0.0). Perhaps you don't have any IPv6 addresses 
configured? I'm pretty sure that the defaults
these days are to try to bind to IPv6 addresses. Try adding "ListenAddress 
0.0.0.0" to sshd_config and start sshd again.

Regards, Philip.
