Ignore the original question.  I checked lapdog2's IP in a terminal that was
logged into a different machine.  The ssh was using the right IP but getting
this result and I cannot figure out why:

larry@hammerhead:~$ ssh -v lapdog2

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions,
that I wish it always to be kept alive.
