            Bug ID: 3239
           Summary: sshd_config(5) DisableForwarding keword is permitted
                    (and has effect) in match blocks
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 8.4p1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P5
         Component: sshd
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: mindrot.org at wb9.se

In the sshd_config man page DisableForwarding isn't listed as a valid
keyword in a match block, but I've found that it is needed if
DisableForwarding is set in the main configuration and you want to
override it for specific match blocks.

I haven't verified that it has the effect I want (enable/disable
forwarding for the specific match block, as compared to overriding the
global DisableForwarding setting for everything), but either way it
should be documented.
