Make SSHd start late? [SOLVED]

How do I go about making SSHd start late, say after WPA_Supplicant? I have wpa_supplicant [options] written into the rc.local file, so it begins when the system boots, no matter what, but how do I go about making sure SSHd starts AFTER that? It always starts earlier in the boot cycle, meaning it fails to find a network connection and refuses connections until I restart the service.

I want it to start late so it starts AFTER wpa_supplicant, meaning that the comp will definately be connected to the wifi at that point, so SSHd will detect an internet connection and start up as usual? Ideas?

Thanks!

[SOVLED] That worked for me! Thanks alot!

Re: Make SSHd start late? [SOLVED]

Stuff in /etc/rc.local runs after everything in the /etc/rc.conf so you'll have to add a line in for sshd before our other app in the rc.local or make a daemon out of the other app and have it run from the rc.conf before sshd in the array.

I'd say do the first thing graysky said: remove ssh from DAEMONS and do
(sleep 10 && /etc/rc.d/sshd start &)
in your rc.local
