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

You are using OpenBSD or something else?

Assuming you write the PF rules to do so you should be able to match
local processes (using "user" rules and the $user_id authpf macro) as
well as connections from the IP address they're logging in as (using
"from" rules and $user_ip macro).

But all of this is speculative because you still have not described
what the objective of this exercise is.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
