I'd suggest using "ssh -v" rather than relying on the "Last login:" output. For instance:
$ ssh -v -Snone riva : 2>&1 | grep 'Connecting to' debug1: Connecting to riva.pelham.vpn.ucam.org [2001:8b0:bff2:eb14:6a05:caff:fe12:71bf] port 22. $ ssh -4v -Snone riva : 2>&1 | grep 'Connecting to' debug1: Connecting to riva.pelham.vpn.ucam.org [172.20.153.17] port 22. The client in this case is on xenial, so I know that "ssh -4" is not fundamentally broken on xenial. You might also like to check that there's nothing relevant in your ~/.ssh/config that might be overriding the normal logic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to openssh in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1687482 Title: -4 flag doesn't work Status in openssh package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Whenever I use the -4 flag on ssh, it still uses the ipv6 address from dns instead of forcing ipv4 like it says it is supposed to do in the man page.
