SSH(1)                  Gentoo General Commands Manual                  SSH(1)

NAME
     ssh - OpenSSH SSH client (remote login program)

SYNOPSIS
     ssh [-1246AaCfgKkMNnqsTtVvXxYyz] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec]
         [-D [bind_address:]port] [-E log_file] [-e escape_char]
         [-F configfile] [-I pkcs11] [-i identity_file]
         [-L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport] [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec]
         [-O ctl_cmd] [-o option] [-p port]
         [-Q cipher | cipher-auth | mac | kex | key]
         [-R [bind_address:]port:host:hostport] [-S ctl_path] [-W host:port]
         [-w local_tun[:remote_tun]] [user@]hostname [command]

You can put -t almost wherever you want, but the command must always be at the end.

Perhaps their policy is meant to prevent you from doing what you are attempting to do - run remote commands via ssh.

gnome-ssh-askpass

GNOME-SSH-ASKPASS(1)					      General Commands Manual					      GNOME-SSH-ASKPASS(1)

NAME

       gnome-ssh-askpass - prompts a user for a passphrase using GNOME

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-ssh-askpass

DESCRIPTION

       gnome-ssh-askpass  is  a GNOME-based passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH.  It is intended to be called by the ssh-add(1) program and not
       invoked directly.  It allows ssh-add(1) to obtain a passphrase from a user, even if not connected to a terminal (assuming that an X display
       is  available).	This happens automatically in the case where ssh-add is invoked from one's ~/.xsession or as one of the GNOME startup pro-
       grams, for example.

       In order to be called automatically by ssh-add, gnome-ssh-askpass should be installed as /usr/bin/ssh-askpass.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables are recognized:

       GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_SERVER
	      Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the X server before asking for a passphrase.

       GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_POINTER
	      Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the mouse pointer using gdk_pointer_grab() before asking for a passphrase.

       Regardless of whether either of these environment variables is set, gnome-ssh-askpass will grab the keyboard using gdk_keyboard_grab().

AUTHOR

       This manual page was written by Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org> for the Debian system (but may be used by others).  It was based on that
       for x11-ssh-askpass by Philip Hands.
