NOM

       chfn - Modifier le nom complet et les informations associées à un utilisateur

SYNOPSIS

       chfn [options] [LOGIN]

DESCRIPTION

       The chfn command changes user fullname, office room number, office phone number, and home phone number
       information for a user's account. This information is typically printed by finger(1) 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 -o 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:

       -f, --full-name FULL_NAME
           Modifier le nom complet de l'utilisateur.

       -h, --home-phone HOME_PHONE
           Modifier le numéro de téléphone personnel de l'utilisateur.

       -o, --other OTHER
           Modifier les informations GECO de l'utilisateur. Ce champ est utilisé pour enregistrer les
           informations de l'utilisateur utilisées par d'autres applications et peut être changé seulement par
           un superutilisateur.

       -r, --room ROOM_NUMBER
           Modifier le numéro de bureau de l'utilisateur.

       -R, --root CHROOT_DIR
           Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the CHROOT_DIR
           directory. Only absolute paths are supported.

       -u, --help
           Afficher un message d'aide et quitter.

       -w, --work-phone WORK_PHONE
           Modifier le numéro de téléphone professionnel de l'utilisateur.

       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.
