!!DESCRIPTION |

26 |
__chfn__ changes user fullname, office number, office |
| |
|
27 |
extension, and home phone number information for a user's |
| |
|
28 |
account. This information is typically printed by |
| |
|
29 |
finger(1) and similiar programs. A normal user may |
| |
|
30 |
only change the fields for their own account, the super user |
| |
|
31 |
may change the fields for any account. Also, only the super |
| |
|
32 |
user may use the __-o__ option to change the undefined |
| |
|
33 |
portions of the GCOS field. |
| |
|
34 |
|
| |
|
35 |
|
| |
|
36 |
The only restrictions placed on the contents of the fields |
| |
|
37 |
is that no control characters may be present, nor any of |
| |
|
38 |
comma, colon, or equal sign. The ''other'' field does not |
| |
|
39 |
have this restriction, and is used to store accounting |
| |
|
40 |
information used by other applications. |
| |
|
41 |
|
| |
|
42 |
|
| |
|
43 |
If none of the options are selected, __chfn__ operates in |
| |
|
44 |
an interactive fashion, prompting the user with the current |
| |
|
45 |
values for all of the fields. Enter the new value to change |
| |
|
46 |
the field, or leave the line blank to use the current value. |
| |
|
47 |
The current value is displayed between a pair of __[[ ]__ |
| |
|
48 |
marks. Without options, chfn prompts for the current user |
| |
|
49 |
account. |
| |
|
50 |
|
| |
|
51 |
|
| |
|
52 |
The file, __/etc/login.defs__, defines some configuration |
| |
|
53 |
options that affects how chfn operates, especially for |
| |
|
54 |
non-root users. |
