Many thanks for the link and the detailed write-up.

I just published updated base-ssh RPMs for all BlueOnyx versions. Upon
installing the updates sshd_config will be modified and both
'AllowTcpForwarding' and 'X11Forwarding' (just to be sure) will be set
to off.

Upon that change SSHd is restarted, too, so that the changes take effect
immediately.

This update will not cause any issues if you already have the safer
settings configured.
