In sshd_config:
X11Forwarding no
Alternatively, if you control the client machines, set up ssh_config
with:
Host *
ForwardX11 no
The latter won't disable X11 forwarding, but it will make the client stop
trying to use it, which will eliminate the error message.
Note that port forwarding can be used to achieve (much less secure)
X11 forwarding, so you might want to disable that too.
If the users can install arbitrary programs on the server side, they
can create any tunnel they like and you will lose all control of what
is forwarded and what isn't.
