Did you look at examples/ssh_server_fork.c ???

I would suggest to write a prefork server. The parent should have a small 
memory footprint so it is fast to fork. Then do the heavy lifting and wait for 
a connection.

Forking is better because if you have a segfault only the process for client 
connection dies.

Improved examples are always welcome.
