Clemens,
For many purposes, it is sufficient to define the environment variable
USER in your bash startup script:
USER="specialusername" # or whatever
export USER
make sure you have a /etc/passwd file with at least
specialusername::0:0:::
in it; you shouldn't need a password, home or shell defined; the 0,0
entry gives your special user the same permissions as root.
