    No.

    Why?

    You can specify user and port in the ~/.ssh/config file but the host
    specification is mandatory (you could however use a Hostname directive
    so the argument on the command line isn't the real hostname. It won't
    help much, though, the host and port will be visible in netstat anyway.

    It's also possible to spoof ps by trashing argv on some platforms.

        Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
    usually comes from bad judgement.
