Thanks. I'm thinking of #82468, #95576 and co - I include the text of the bug report I filed, for reference: ssh-ing to this system from elsewhere (with Xforwarding disabled, causes the ssh session to die, and drop the following to syslog: (for reference, this is in get_sock_port in canohost.c) get_sock_port: getnameinfo NI_NUMERICSERV failed Strace shows this is getting error -6 back (EAI_FAMILY), which is address family not recognised, or the address length was invalid for the specified family. This is because sshd is using IPV6 addresses, and so gets an IPV6 address back from getpeername(), which it then immediatly passes to get_sock_port, which returns EAI_FAMILY (i.e. it can't deal with IPV6), and sshd then dies. passing the -4 option to sshd fixes this (forcing the use of IPV4 address), but this is clearly a workaround, not a solution.
