This information is typically printed by + finger1 + and similar programs. A normal user may only change + the fields for her own account, subject to the restrictions in + /etc/login.defs. (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 to change the undefined portions of the + GECOS field. + + + + These fields must not contain any colons. Except for the + other field, they should not contain + any comma or equal sign. It is also recommended to avoid + non-US-ASCII characters, but this is only enforced for the phone + numbers. The other field is used to + store accounting information used by other applications. + + + + + + OPTIONS + + The options which apply to the chfn command are: + + + + + ,  FULL_NAME + + + Change the user's full name. + + + + + ,  HOME_PHONE + + + Change the user's home phone number. + + + + + ,  OTHER + + + + Change the user's other GECOS information. This field is used to + store accounting information used by other applications, and can + be changed only by a superuser. + + + + + + ,  ROOM_NUMBER + + + Change the user's room number. + + + + + ,  CHROOT_DIR + + + + Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR + directory and use the configuration files from the + CHROOT_DIR directory. + + + + + + , + + + Display help message and exit. + + + + + ,  WORK_PHONE + + + Change the user's office phone number. + + + + + If none of the options are selected, chfn + 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 [ + ] marks. Without options, chfn + prompts for the current user account. + + + + + CONFIGURATION + + The following configuration variables in + /etc/login.defs change the behavior of this + tool: + + + &CHFN_AUTH; + &CHFN_RESTRICT; + &LOGIN_STRING; + + + + + FILES + + + /etc/login.defs + + Shadow password suite configuration. + + + + /etc/passwd + + User account information. + + + + + + + SEE ALSO + + + chsh1 + , + + login.defs5 + , + + passwd5 + . + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
