Maybe a little hint for 'tin' users would not be that bad. For 'tin' you
may set NAME as environment variable.
Dunno what programs else use it.

$ man tin

tin(1)                 A Usenet newsreader                 tin(1)

NAME
       tin, rtin, tind - A Usenet newsreader
[...]
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
[...]
Overrides the fullname given in the gecos-files in /etc/passwd, see also 
mail_address.
