So far so bad, but if I use DoD, this even costs money.
Recompile --with-ipv4-default, and/or file a bug report. (What you see is mentioned in OpenSSH INSTALL file.) ... Ok, I > can use "ssh -4" and i have an alias set to this. But why on earth is > there no parameter for the config-file ? Because making it run-time configurable will probably cause more trouble than it's worth? Because if GNU project is unable to produce a non-b0rked libc, that's not an SSH problem?
