<para>
|
|
The <command>chfn</command> 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
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>finger</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum>
|
|
</citerefentry> and similar programs. A normal user may only change
|
|
the fields for her own account, subject to the restrictions in
|
|
<filename>/etc/login.defs</filename>. (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 <option>-o</option> option to change the undefined portions of the
|
|
GECOS field.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
These fields must not contain any colons. Except for the
|
|
<emphasis remap='I'>other</emphasis> 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 <emphasis remap='I'>other</emphasis> field is used to
|
|
store accounting information used by other applications.
