I have seen that I can authenticate to mysql/pam as Y user when logged in as X user, with Y user's password (currently only possible if Y == 'mysql' ; which is essentially equivalent to authenticating as Y user). However, if I am already logged in as Y user and try to authenticate to mysql as Y user, it will still ask for Y user's password which is fine.
