You meant "PermitOpen", right? :-)

Indeed


By default OpenPermit is set to `any': if I set
it to 127.0.0.1:12345 , I observed not restriction at all: all port can
still forward.

How are you testing this?

I use the script 'autossh.host'  as provided by the package `autossh'from an other box.


I think when you set "PermitOpen=host:port" you are limiting your users
to use local port forwarding on the specified host and port when they use
local port forwading.

to use or to set up ?
According to my test both does not work.


On the otherhand, if I set  AllowTcpForwarding to `n' ,
then OpenPermit permits no port.

Do I miss something ?

AFAIK, "AllowTcpForwarding=no" should disable both, local and remote port
forwarding (-L and -R), regardless the value of any other variable.

I got it, and `AllowTcpForwarding=no' seems to work as expected.

My aim is to permit a given user to be allowed to set  only a given port,
not all ports.

Thanks,
Jerome
