Ah, ok, I was thinking you were talking about "whoami", rather than "who
am i". That situation is less unlikely, then. :)
The reason is that screen is not updating /var/run/utmp for some reason.
Various reasons why this might be:
- screen doesn't have proper permissions to write to utmp
Solution: ensure that screen is setgid utmp, or setuid root
- screen is not configured to write to utmp
Solution: ensure that "deflogin on" is not unset in your
/etc/screenrc and ~/.screenrc.
My own setup does not normally have setgid utmp, but screen will happily
tell me "this window is logged in", rather than error out as it ought
to. I'll file a bug to investigate that.
