These capabilities can be leveraged by an authenticated restricted user - e.g. one with the login shellconfigured as /bin/false or one with configured forced-commands - to bypass account restriction. This is generally not expected.

So basically setting the shell to /bin/false or something like that can be bypassed.

Just block users in sshd_config

I actually think just disabling login is better.

People that set the shell to /bin/false or nologin are asking for trouble IMHO.

Or even no-X11-forwarding for a specific (command-limited, else there's no point) key.
