It is, like, _so_ difficult to turn the unwanted features off in sshd_config, no?

Thanks

yes, it's extremely hard to turn features off for some users while allowing it for others.

Thanks

The keyword you're looking for is 'Match'. You can PermitTunnel on a group-by-group, IP-by-IP, user-by-user, or even local-port-by-port (?!) basis.
