Note: I know this can be turned of in the sshd_config file for all users - 
but that limits usability of the ssh server.  Normal users should normally 
be allowed to do port-forwarding (they can do it anyway if they have shell 
access).

Note also that the authorized_keys file can contain appropriate keywords
(no-port-forwarding, no-X11-forwarding, no-agent-forwarding)
(see man sshd_config) to make the above fail, but is your server 
configured properly?
