.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBchfn\fR changes user fullname, office number, office extension, and home
|
|
phone number information for a user's account. This information is
|
|
typically printed by \fBfinger\fR(1) and similiar programs. A normal user
|
|
may only change the fields for her own account, the super user may change
|
|
the fields for any account. Also, only the super user may use the \fB-o\fR
|
|
option to change the undefined portions of the GECOS field.
|
|
.PP
|
|
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
|
|
\fIother\fR field does not have this restriction, and is used to store
|
|
accounting information used by other applications.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If none of the options are selected, \fBchfn\fR 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 \fB[ ]\fR
|
|
marks. Without options, chfn prompts for the current user account.
