Description
Thought
An alternate ssh config may be a good idea for nomachine/fastx/user-owned Linux machines since there are some discrepancies for it and off-site macOS/on-site Linux configs.
Issues
ssh on nomachine/fastx hosts is old.
It doesn't support RemoteCommand. So lines such as these would need to be removed:
https://github.com/pcdshub/shared-dotfiles/blob/4967c457f80ad1324287dfc0a27f05761872dfde/off_site/ssh/config#L60
Also, the XAuth location is specific to MacOS:

This should be removed for nomachine/fastx to work properly with X forwarding

Research direction
Start with off_site/ssh/config at the referenced RemoteCommand and XAuth sections, then compare the nomachine/fastx requirements with the existing macOS and Linux configurations. Done means an alternate SSH configuration that avoids unsupported RemoteCommand usage and MacOS-specific XAuth settings so X forwarding works on those hosts.
