Easy: Any app that requests the *system* for your user name, will get the
real one.

Also have a look at your /etc/passwd that was also generated using system
functionality. I am quite not sure whether you may override the system's
user name here or not, since I do not know how the ported Unix apps really
retrieve the user's name.

IMHO no.
