Believe what you want.  I've got sources that prove your wrong.  The JD=
K
CVS repository was using this feature for 18 months (until I quit my
former job) to only allow people to port forward CVS-Pserver requests,
but disallow all other forwarding requests.

FWIW, we used 'f-secure-ssh-1.3.2'

.nr CO 1
.ie \n(CO .TH SSHD 8 "November 8, 1995" "F-SECURE SSH" "F-SECURE SSH"

You *obviously* don't know what you're talking about.  Be careful about=

what you say on public mailing lists...

Unfortunately, the SSH2 product did *NOT* allow fine grained options to=

be set in the version we bought, 'f-secure-ssh-2.0.12.1'.

Well, since you claim to be an expert, I'll let you find it yourself.
