    Hi there

    I'm writing a distributed application at the moment that uses SSH as
    its method of transferring data from computer to computer. I want to
    create a private key that remote computers can use to log in to the
    central server. But I don't want these keys to provide access to a
    shell prompt. I want to provide a tunnel to MySQL, a tunnel to a
    webserver, and perhaps SCP. Can I specify those things as part of the
    authorized_keys section?

    If there's a place in the manual or a keyword that I need to be
    searching for to find this info perhaps you could just tell me that.

    Cheers

    John Pye
