The primary instance listens on 0.0.0.0:22. The second instance needs
to listen to port 443 on a particular IP address, for reasons that I
suspect are obvious.... I had not realized that multiple Listen:
statements were allowed; I'll certainly try that. (The two answers I
received -- copying rc.d/sshd and using rc.local -- are obvious but not
clean...)
