--- Comment #1 from Darren Tucker <dtucker at dtucker.net> ---
The uid lookups are platform-specific, and only be useful for locally
originated connections.  Assuming that's tractable, the next question
is what the control surfaces would look like?

Assuming this would be a subset of "GatewayPorts no" that allows only
the same user, it could be something like this on the server side in
decreasing levels of permissiveness:

   GatewayPorts yes -> clientspecified -> no -> same-user

On the client side there's also GatewayPorts, but DynamicForward and
LocalForward can individually specify listen addresses.  "GatewayPorts
sameuser" could restrict them all to localhost binds only.
