But as it has been pointed out OpenSSH really is an application and not 
a library. A coworker and I did turn it in to a library at one point but 
it was a mess and we abandoned it pretty quickly. However, there are 
*other* ssh implementations out there that may be able to do what you 
need. libssh is one, I'm not sure if its ready for production yet but as 
a basis for further development it may be worth exploring.

Please note, this library has nothing to do with OpenSSH and it doesn't 
seem to provide listen capability.
