No such option! Do you mean you tried 'xhost +x' ? or 'ssh -x ...' ? Neither's right, anyway, you want 'ssh -X ...' :) I presume you can log in normally. Regardless of X accepting the proxy connections or not, when you log into the remote machine (let's say, for example, it's called 'foo') you'll get DISPLAY set - 'echo $DISPLAY' will often give something like 'foo:10' in return.
