This information is stored in the \fI/etc/passwd\fP file, and is displayed by the \fBfinger\fP program. The Linux \fBfinger\fP command will display four pieces of information that can be changed by \fBchfn\fP: your real name, your work room and phone, and your home phone. +.sp +Any of the four pieces of information can be specified on the command line. If no information is given on the command line, \fBchfn\fP enters interactive mode. +.sp +In interactive mode, \fBchfn\fP will prompt for each field. At a prompt, you can enter the new information, or just press return to leave the field unchanged. Enter the keyword "none" to make the field blank. +.sp +\fBchfn\fP supports non\-local entries (kerberos, LDAP, etc.) if linked with libuser, otherwise use \fBypchfn\fP(1), \fBlchfn\fP(1) or any other implementation for non\-local entries. +.SH "OPTIONS" +.sp +\fB\-f\fP, \fB\-\-full\-name\fP \fIfull\-name\fP +.RS 4 +Specify your real name. +.RE +.sp +\fB\-o\fP, \fB\-\-office\fP \fIoffice\fP +.RS 4 +Specify your office room number. +.RE +.sp +\fB\-p\fP, \fB\-\-office\-phone\fP \fIoffice\-phone\fP +.RS 4 +Specify your office phone number. +.RE +.sp +\fB\-h\fP, \fB\-\-home\-phone\fP \fIhome\-phone\fP +.RS 4 +Specify your home phone number. +.RE +.sp +\fB\-h\fP, \fB\-\-help\fP +.RS 4 +Display help text and exit. +.RE +.sp +\fB\-V\fP, \fB\-\-version\fP +.RS 4 +Print version and exit. +.RE +.SH "CONFIG FILE ITEMS" +.sp +\fBchfn\fP reads the \fI/etc/login.defs\fP configuration file (see \fBlogin.defs\fP(5)). Note that the configuration file could be distributed with another package (e.g., shadow\-utils). The following configuration items are relevant for \fBchfn\fP: +.sp +\fBCHFN_RESTRICT\fP \fIstring\fP +.RS 4 +Indicate which fields are changeable by \fBchfn\fP. +.sp +The boolean setting \fB"yes"\fP means that only the Office, Office Phone and Home Phone fields are changeable, and boolean setting \fB"no"\fP means that also the Full Name is changeable. +.sp +Another way to specify changeable fields is by abbreviations: f = Full Name, r = Office (room), w = Office (work) Phone, h = Home Phone. For example, \fBCHFN_RESTRICT "wh"\fP allows changing work and home phone numbers. +.sp +If \fBCHFN_RESTRICT\fP is undefined, then all finger information is read\-only. This is the default. +.RE +.SH "EXIT STATUS" +.sp +Returns 0 if operation was successful, 1 if operation failed or command syntax was not valid. +.SH "AUTHORS" +.sp +.MTO "svalente\(atmit.edu" "Salvatore Valente" "" +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.sp +\fBchsh\fP(1), +\fBfinger\fP(1), +\fBlogin.defs\fP(5), +\fBpasswd\fP(5) +.SH "REPORTING BUGS" +.sp +For bug reports, use the issue tracker at \c +.URL "https://github.com/util\-linux/util\-linux/issues" "" "." +.SH "AVAILABILITY" +.sp +The \fBchfn\fP command is part of the util\-linux package which can be downloaded from \c +.URL "https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util\-linux/" "Linux Kernel Archive" "." \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3
