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.

EXIT STATUS

       The exit status is 0 on success, nonzero on error.
