Tried this config file:
Host *
ForwardAgent yes
ForwardX11 yes
Port 222
ForwardX11Trusted yes
Removed the entry for the host from known_hosts and tried again. I
connected to the correct port, but the known_hosts entry is still
recorded in brackets. No autocompletion.
I don't see any other option in ssh_config(5) that seems appropriate.
