How do I setup sshd under Gentoo? I don't remember ever needing to do this before. In any case, I used ssh-keygen to generate the host key. Now, where do I put the public and private keys? Anything else I need to do to make it more secure? Thanks.

What do you mean "setup"?
To give to others the ability to log in at your computer through ssh you just need to emerge openssh, and then start the sshd by using the
/etc/init.d/sshd start
Manipulation with ssh-keygen is not requered.
