I'm sorry but I cannot reproduce this problem here. It works fine on two machines here with the same openssh version. Looking at the source I don't see any obvious problem with setting the address family either. Can you provide ssh -vvv host log when it doesn't work as expected? I found an errant: AddressFamily inet further up in my .ssh/config. This is my error. It's now working as expected. |
Description of problem: I have the following in .ssh/config: Host gideon *.revolutionwall.net AddressFamily inet6 User matthew However, the following uses IPv4: [mbooth@mbooth ~]$ ssh gideon Last login: Sun Nov 26 10:03:37 2006 from xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx [matthew@gideon ~]$ who matthew pts/0 Nov 26 10:03 (ezekiel.revolutionwall.net) To use IPv6 I must specify the -6 option to ssh: [mbooth@mbooth ~]$ ssh -6 gideon Last login: Sun Nov 26 10:03:40 2006 from ezekiel.revolutionwall.net [matthew@gideon ~]$ who matthew pts/0 Nov 26 10:04 (xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx) The man page for ssh_config suggests this should not be the case: AddressFamily Specifies which address family to use when connecting. Valid arguments are “any”, “inet” (Use IPv4 only) or “inet6” (Use IPv6 only.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openssh-3.9p1-8.RHEL4.17.1.i386 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a network with both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity 2. Assign both A and AAAA records for the target host 3. Specify AddressFamily inet6 in ~/.ssh/config for that host 4. ssh to the host with no arguments Actual results: ssh uses IPv4 Expected results: ssh uses IPv6
