Extract from man-page :

SSH(1)                  FreeBSD General Commands Manual                 SSH(1)

NAME
     ssh -- OpenSSH SSH client (remote login program)
(snip)

     -o option
             Can be used to give options in the format used in the configura-
             tion file.  This is useful for specifying options for which there
             is no separate command-line flag.  For full details of the
             options listed below, and their possible values, see
             ssh_config(5).

                   AddressFamily
                   BatchMode
                   BindAddress
                   ChallengeResponseAuthentication
                   CheckHostIP
                   Cipher
                   Ciphers
                   ClearAllForwardings
                   Compression
                   CompressionLevel
                   ConnectionAttempts
                   ConnectionTimeout
                   DynamicForward
(snip)





So let try a :
		$ssh -o ConnectionTimeout=5 localhost
		command-line: line 0: Bad configuration option: ConnectionTimeout





>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
	
Lets do : 
		$ssh -o ConnectTimeout=5 localhost
		The authenticity of host 'cynique.org (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn)' can't be established.
		DSA key fingerprint is xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.
		Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?



Is this can help ?
