More to the point: what prevents me from logging in using SSH
as user1 and using "--tunnel-user user2"? Seems like a security risk...

That will likely work (thanks!) but I am wondering what is going on
under the hood. It was mentioned to me that I am getting user SYSTEM
because SSHd runs under this user but I find this odd because I use a
non-SYSTEM user ID in my ssh client. Isn't the ssh server supposed to
modify my session so it is associated with the specified user ID
instead of SYSTEM?
Thanks,
Gili
