Multiple forced commands being executed

[Oliver Beattie]

Hi,

Sorry to post this here again, I already posted it in the users
mailing list but haven't got very far. I really need to get this
resolved ASAP, as it's causing a big security headache for us. If
anyone can help that would be wonderful. The original thread is here:

I am having a very strange problem with SSH. Essentially, I'm using
forced commands to restrict access based on public key (there are
around 2000 public keys). It appears to work okay, but when I look at
the ssh -v output I see that the client/server is actually executing
all the forced commands for RSA keys (I am connecting with an RSA key)
until it "hits" my key.

Anyone have any idea why this is happening? I have no clue where to
even look for hints as to what would cause this…

Here's an example of the output I am seeing (condensed, the real
output is ~3000 lines):
