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).
