ok somebody help me out here

so sshd by default gets installed as a service, so every time, a
workstation restarts, it will be brought up by default.

I wanted to disable sshd on startup so I did the regulat stuff such as:

invoke-rc.d ssh stop && service -f ssh remove && update.rc-d ssh remove

yet, I still see it when I startup.

I see at /etc/network/if-up.d that there is a script for openssh-server,
mainly that if something with the interface is update, so will sshd ,
would this be a reason for concern?

In Ubuntu 10.04 the ssh server is not started by a legacy init script
but by upstart so invoke-rc.d doesn't work.

* Rename /etc/init/ssh.conf to /etc/init/ssh.disabled if you want to
disable sshd completely

* In /etc/init/ssh.conf replace the line "start on filesystem"
with "#start on filesystem" if you only want to disable the automatic
start at boot time but still want to start it using "service ssh start"

No, it only restarts sshd if it's already running
