|
<para>
|
|
The <command>chfn</command> command changes user fullname,
|
|
office number, office extension, and home phone number information
|
|
for a user's account. This information is typically printed by
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>finger</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum>
|
|
</citerefentry> and similar programs. A normal user may only change
|
|
the fields for her own account, subject to the restrictions in
|
|
<filename>/etc/login.defs</filename>. (The default configuration is to
|
|
prevent users from changing their fullname.) The superuser may change
|
|
any field for any account. Additionally, only the superuser may use
|
|
the <option>-o</option> option to change the undefined portions of the
|
|
GECOS field.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The only restriction placed on the contents of the fields is that
|
|
no control characters may be present, nor any of comma, colon, or
|
|
equal sign. The <emphasis remap='I'>other</emphasis> field does not
|
|
have this restriction, and is used to store accounting information
|
|
used by other applications.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para> If none of the options are selected, <command>chfn</command>
|
|
operates in an interactive fashion, prompting the user with the
|
|
current values for all of the fields. Enter the new value to change
|
|
the field, or leave the line blank to use the current value. The
|
|
current value is displayed between a pair of <emphasis remap='B'>[
|
|
]</emphasis> marks. Without options, <command>chfn</command>
|
|
prompts for the current user account.
