Hi Geoff,

	This looks really cool--thank you for posting!

	One question: how readily might this be able to support using MariaDB’s 
own authentication for the user rather than /etc/shadow?

Example:

GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'temp_g5fj3s'@'' IDENTIFIED BY 'my_secret';
GRANT PROXY ON 'frank'@'localhost' TO 'temp_g5fj3s'@'';

	e.g., I log in as “temp_g5fj3s” using “my_secret”, and MariaDB would 
then just make that user behave as 'frank'@'localhost'.
