Let me know if you have any questions.

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'. -FG
