Everything was working great until I tried to use the following in the
authorized_keys file for the user account hosting the Fossil repos:
command="/usr/local/bin/fossil",no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding
ssh-rsa <key> <user>@<client-host>
. . . because, of course, "ssh -L" is then prevented from working. Is
there a fairly simple way to prevent people from doing anything
unrelated to what a dev team member should be able to do that still
allows me to use this approach to granting encrypted Fossil access?
