Huh?!? It is the other way round here (OS X 10.3.2), whoami only gives me
the short name, while id -P has full service:

---------------------------------------------------------------
[AlBook-KL:~] kl% whoami
kl
[AlBook-KL:~] kl% id -P
kl:Csq9hr8Kkmthg:501:20::0:0:Knut Lorenzen:/Users/kl/:/bin/tcsh

Ack! I spoke too soon. Sorry about that. I forgot that a little while back I changed my long name to be the same as my short name. :-P You're absolutely right. id -P is the way to go, not whoami.
