I'm using putty from windows to login, and I didn't see an option for ipv4
only. Also, this just started last week, so there must be a way to fix this.
It does it when I do "su" also, so ipv4 wouldn't solve the "su" part of it.
It's something to do with the password lookup I think. The login prompt
comes right up, but after I enter the password it takes forever.

Try the -4 argument to ssh (ssh -4 myotherbox).  I haven't researched
why this works, I only know that occasionally this fixes this specific
problem.
