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

Angel,
Yes - actually my whole problem is that ForceCommand is invoked for
*all* SSH connections, *except* for the forwarding-only connections.
Maybe another solution would be to add an option so that ForceCommand
always is run, e.g. for /bin/noop on all non-SFTP non-shell non-command
connections.
Thanks!
