SSH Version OpenSSH-1.2.3, protocol version 1.5.
Compiled with SSL.
Usage: ssh [options] host [command]
Options:
  -l user     Log in using this user name.
  -n          Redirect input from /dev/null.
  -A          Enable authentication agent forwarding.
  -a          Disable authentication agent forwarding.
  -X          Enable X11 connection forwarding.
  -x          Disable X11 connection forwarding.
  ...add'l lines deleted...

Looks as if mine supports both -X and -x.  Mine isn't setup to use X11
forwarding by default, so I use the -X to enable it.
