					<description><![CDATA[X11Forwarding
             Specifies whether X11 forwarding is permitted.  The argument must be ``yes&#039;&#039; or ``no&#039;&#039;.  The
             default is ``no&#039;&#039;.

             When X11 forwarding is enabled, there may be additional exposure to the server and to client
             displays if the sshd(8) proxy display is configured to listen on the wildcard address (see
             X11UseLocalhost below), though this is not the default.  Additionally, the authentication
             spoofing and authentication data verification and substitution occur on the client side.  The
             security risk of using X11 forwarding is that the client&#039;s X11 display server may be exposed to
             attack when the SSH client requests forwarding (see the warnings for ForwardX11 in
             ssh_config(5)).  A system administrator may have a stance in which they want to protect clients
             that may expose themselves to attack by unwittingly requesting X11 forwarding, which can war-rant warrant
             rant a ``no&#039;&#039; setting.

             Note that disabling X11 forwarding does not prevent users from forwarding X11 traffic, as users
             can always install their own forwarders.  X11 forwarding is automatically disabled if UseLogin
             is enabled.

     X11UseLocalhost
             Specifies whether sshd(8) should bind the X11 forwarding server to the loopback address or to
             the wildcard address.  By default, sshd binds the forwarding server to the loopback address and
             sets the hostname part of the DISPLAY environment variable to ``localhost&#039;&#039;.  This prevents
             remote hosts from connecting to the proxy display.  However, some older X11 clients may not
             function with this configuration.  X11UseLocalhost may be set to ``no&#039;&#039; to specify that the
             forwarding server should be bound to the wildcard address.  The argument must be ``yes&#039;&#039; or
             ``no&#039;&#039;.  The default is ``yes&#039;&#039;.

					<description><![CDATA[NB!  â€œUsePrivilegeSeparation sandboxâ€ now works! You would be better of to use this setting in sshd_config and restart the ssh service.


UsePrivilegeSeparation
             Specifies whether sshd(8) separates privileges by creating an unprivileged child process to
             deal with incoming network traffic.  After successful authentication, another process will be
             created that has the privilege of the authenticated user.  The goal of privilege separation is
             to prevent privilege escalation by containing any corruption within the unprivileged processes.
             If UsePrivilegeSeparation is set to ``sandbox&#039;&#039; then the pre-authentication unprivileged
             process is subject to additional restrictions.  The default is ``sandbox&#039;&#039;.

					<description><![CDATA[Well, I&#039;ve also run into a problem running the openSSH server under Mac OS X Mountain Lion. It looks like a problem with Apple&#039;s sandbox - not allowing users to connect to the sshd deamon even thou they have the proper credentials! 

&lt;code&gt;fatal: ssh_sandbox_child: sandbox_init: dlopen(/usr/lib/libsandbox.1.dylib, 261): image not found [preauth]&lt;/code&gt;

If you have heard about this issue or have a solution to this problem please plz keep me posted! BTW: There is a ticket on Mac Ports addressing this issue: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36291]]></description>
