Why is this tagged ssh" ? Care to explain why you name is different than "whoami" shows? Is it because you use ssh to connect to another system and it is the name shown on THAT machine?

Can you include the output fromwhoamiandecho $USERin your question? Then comment on where the names are probably coming from?

Not sure why these would be different but you could easily fix it by putting the following line into your .bashrc file:
export USER=$(whoami)
