Cut and paste from the sshd man page:

X11Forwarding
       Specifies whether X11 forwarding is permitted.  The
       default is "yes".  Note that disabling X11 forward-
       ing  does not improve security in any way, as users
       can always install their own forwarders.

Hmm, i translate incoming ssh to telnet on internal network and everything
other than terminal connection itself is disabled. Even X (although i did
not solve X over ssh proxying problem the proper way)
