You could probably write a pseudo-shell and put that into /etc/passwd (i.e.
#!/usr/bin/perl
while(<STDIN>){exit if /^exit$/m; print "This is a pseudo shell. You 
can only 'exit'.\n"}
).

How reliable do ssh tunnels work over long periods of time nowadays? 
Two years ago there were discussions about dropped/hanging(?) 
connections when using tunneling large amounts of data (not mysql 
specific).

What do you do when loosing connection (i.e. the server is restarted)?
Probably some sort of 'pinging' the connection is needed? i.e. 
opening a connection to mysql over the tunnel on the client side, 
doing 'select 1' periodically, if there's no response kill the ssh 
client and restart it.

Has someone used replication over an ssh tunnel?
