You have the choice between either `openssh' or `ssh' that can both be
found in the package system. At first, you should perhaps familiarize
yourself with the package system. For more information, see:
http://www.at.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html
Both `ssh' and `openssh' can be found in the security category. Once
you have installed the package (and maybe adapted its configuration in
/etc), you can simply start the daemon by using
`/usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/sshd.sh'. Then you can use `ssh' to connect to that
machine, voila!
