NOME
chfn - cambia il nome dell'utente e altre informazioni
SINOSSI
chfn [options] [LOGIN]
DESCRIZIONE
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.
OPZIONI
The options which apply to the chfn command are:
-f, --full-name FULL_NAME
Cambia il nome completo dell'utente.
-h, --home-phone HOME_PHONE
Cambia il numero di telefono di casa dell'utente.
-o, --other OTHER
Cambia il campo GECOS per le altre informazioni. Questo campo viene utilizzato per memorizzare
informazioni di «accounting» usate da altre applicazioni, e può essere modificato solo dal super
utente.
-r, --room ROOM_NUMBER
Cambia il numero della stanza dell'utente.
-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
Mostra un messaggio di aiuto ed esce.
-w, --work-phone WORK_PHONE
Cambia il numero di telefono di lavoro dell'utente.
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.
