As Ray pointed out above, you have not installed the ssh daemon. From the above list, one can fairly conclude 

that only the ssh clients are installed on your system. Therefore, you should install the daemon, which resides

in the openssh-server-3.1p1-3.XXXX.rpm package (where XXX may be i386, 
i486, etc). This rpm is probably on the 2nd installtion CD. Hope that helps.
