the ::1 bothered me.

why was there a ipv6 localhost address when i don't happen to be on a 
v6 node?

so tried running ssh with the -4 flag for ipv4 addresses only and it 
works.  it is probably a bug in the app using the dual stack.

thanks for letting me debug on your time.  i have often found that 
explaining my problem to someone helps me debug it.
