How disable forwarding-only connections (i.e. non-shell/command non-sftp connections)? (Maybe this is a feature request!)

I don't think the ssh protocols allows that. You first authenticate, and 
only then you create the different channels. Also, it would be possible 
to create a pty channel, then a forwarding, then close the first channel.
Do you want to allow forwardings for "command connections"?
