SSHD will not operate properly with McAfee Privacy Service instlaled, I have a workaround

If the Comcast version of McAfee Security Center is installed with the 
"Privacy Service", which is a separate available McAfee product, it screws 
up sshd. pretty seriously. The solution is to install the SSHD service with 
the "-D -r" sshd flags, instead of just "-D". The -r option is a poorly 
documented one that prevents the SSH daemon from doing a re-exec, but it 
works.
A working version of ssh-host-config to avoid this problem. I suspect 
this'll also deal with the previously reported issues of needing to disable 
"Buffer Overflow Protection" in previous versions of McAfee.
