Yes, I think this is possible.

In /usr/local/nagios/bin/rc.opsview, the start section with the  
autossh says to ssh to nag...@$master. Change that to nagi...@$master.

If this works, we can parameterise that username for a config file on  
the slave.

The ssh on the slave is required to setup  the tunnel for the master  
to communicate back. The master then will login to the slave as the  
nagios user. This means the reverse tunnel does not need to the nagios  
user at the master end.
