There's no real way to do this in the SSH protocol. After the SSH transport
protocol is running and authentication has completed, there's no ironclad
way to distinguish between a connection that will never execute a command
from one that's merely slow to do so.

I don't understand why turning off agent/X11/TCP forwarding was no
sufficient for you - could you clarify?
