ssh, the client, is installed, sshd, the server, isn't.

# rpm -qa | grep ssh
openssh-askpass-gnome-3.5p1-11
openssh-clients-3.5p1-11
openssh-server-3.5p1-11
openssh-askpass-3.5p1-11
openssh-3.5p1-11

So, to correct this:

yum install openssh-server

/sbin/chkconfig sshd on
/sbin/service sshd start
