SYNOPSIS

       lusermod [OPTION]... user

DESCRIPTION

       Modifies the user with name user.

OPTIONS

       -c, --gecos=gecos
              Set  user's GECOS field to gecos.  The GECOS field is traditionally used to store user's real name
              and other information.

       -d, --directory=directory
              Set user's home directory to directory.

       -g, --gid=gid
              Change user's primary group ID to gid.  If group with ID gid does not exist, a warning is printed,
              but the operation is performed anyway.

       -i, --interactive
              Ask  all  questions  when  connecting  to the user database, even if default answers are set up in
              libuser configuration.

       -L, --lock
              Lock user's account.  This prevents logging in using user's password.

       -l, --login=name
              Rename user to name.

       -m, --movedirectory
              After changing user's home directory (using the -d option), move the old home directory to the new
              location.

       -P, --plainpassword=password
              Set  user's  password  to  password.   Note that the password can be viewed while running lusermod
              using tools such as ps(1).

       -p, --password=encrypted
              Set user's password to the password represented by the hash encrypted.  Note that the hash can  be
              viewed while running lusermod using tools such as ps(1).

       -s, --shell=shell
              Set user's login shell to shell.

       -U, --unlock
              Unlock user's account.

       -u, --uid=uid
              Change user's user ID to uid.

       --commonname=name
              Set user's common name to name.  This attribute is only supported in some backends (e.g.LDAP), and
              its support may have further limitations (e.g. LDAP schema rules).

       --givenname=name
              Set user's given name to name.  This attribute is only supported in some backends (e.g.LDAP),  and
              its support may have further limitations (e.g. LDAP schema rules).

       --homephone=phone
              Set  user's  home  telephone  number  to phone.  This attribute is only supported in some backends
              (e.g.LDAP), and its support may have further limitations (e.g. LDAP schema rules).

       --roomnumber=room
              Set user's room number to room.  This attribute is only supported in some backends (e.g.LDAP), and
              its support may have further limitations (e.g. LDAP schema rules).

       --surname=name
              Set user's surname to name.  This attribute is only supported in some backends (e.g.LDAP), and its
              support may have further limitations (e.g. LDAP schema rules).

       --telephonenumber=phone
              Set user's telephone number  to  phone.   This  attribute  is  only  supported  in  some  backends
              (e.g.LDAP), and its support may have further limitations (e.g. LDAP schema rules).
