Lars,

I see from the debug output that the command being executed is:

     ssh -x star48 -n hboot -t -c lam-conf.lamd -d -s -I "-H 11.0.0.47 -P 33427
-n 0 -o 1""

and that there doesn't appear to be any "usage" message output this time
(although it may appear later on "stderr").

The original "usage" message says:

        Usage: ssh [options] host [command]

I notice that the (first) "-n" parameter comes AFTER the [command]. However when
I try:

        ssh -x my_machine -n echo uname -a

on my Linux system, it does actually work and doesn't produce the "usage" warning.

Try this on your system and see what happens.

Regards
        Neil

P.S.

The "-x" parameter on "ssh" is only needed for very old (Version 1) "ssh"
clients. On Version 3 clients "-x" has a different meaning and is the default
anyway.
