about X11 and user manager

Hi there,
I am running OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008
, I wonder if it is possible to allow only some users to have X11
forwarding and deny the others? What to do so?

For newer versions you can do

X11Forwarding no
Match user foo
X11Forwarding yes

(or Match group x11allowed or some such.)

This feature isn't in 4.3, though.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
