This information is typically printed by -\fBfinger\fR(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 -\fB\-o\fR -option to change the undefined portions of the GECOS field\&. -.PP -These fields must not contain any colons\&. Except for the -\fIother\fR -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 -\fIother\fR -field is used to store accounting information used by other applications\&. -.SH "OPTIONS" -.PP -The options which apply to the -\fBchfn\fR -command are: -.PP -\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-full\-name\fR\ \&\fIFULL_NAME\fR -.RS 4 -Change the user\*(Aqs full name\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-home\-phone\fR\ \&\fIHOME_PHONE\fR -.RS 4 -Change the user\*(Aqs home phone number\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-other\fR\ \&\fIOTHER\fR -.RS 4 -Change the user\*(Aqs other GECOS information\&. This field is used to store accounting information used by other applications, and can be changed only by a superuser\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-room\fR\ \&\fIROOM_NUMBER\fR -.RS 4 -Change the user\*(Aqs room number\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-R\fR, \fB\-\-root\fR\ \&\fICHROOT_DIR\fR -.RS 4 -Apply changes in the -\fICHROOT_DIR\fR -directory and use the configuration files from the -\fICHROOT_DIR\fR -directory\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-u\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR -.RS 4 -Display help message and exit\&. -.RE -.PP -\fB\-w\fR, \fB\-\-work\-phone\fR\ \&\fIWORK_PHONE\fR -.RS 4 -Change the user\*(Aqs office phone number\&. -.RE -.PP -If none of the options are selected, -\fBchfn\fR -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 -\fB[ ]\fR -marks\&. Without options, -\fBchfn\fR -prompts for the current user account\&. -.SH "CONFIGURATION" -.PP -The following configuration variables in -/etc/login\&.defs -change the behavior of this tool: -.PP -\fBCHFN_AUTH\fR (boolean) -.RS 4 -If -\fIyes\fR, the -\fBchfn\fR -program will require authentication before making any changes, unless run by the superuser\&. -.RE -.PP -\fBCHFN_RESTRICT\fR (string) -.RS 4 -This parameter specifies which values in the -\fIgecos\fR -field of the -/etc/passwd -file may be changed by regular users using the -\fBchfn\fR -program\&. It can be any combination of letters -\fIf\fR, -\fIr\fR, -\fIw\fR, -\fIh\fR, for Full name, Room number, Work phone, and Home phone, respectively\&. For backward compatibility, -\fIyes\fR -is equivalent to -\fIrwh\fR -and -\fIno\fR -is equivalent to -\fIfrwh\fR\&. If not specified, only the superuser can make any changes\&. The most restrictive setting is better achieved by not installing -\fBchfn\fR -SUID\&. -.RE -.PP -\fBLOGIN_STRING\fR (string) -.RS 4 -The string used for prompting a password\&. The default is to use "Password: ", or a translation of that string\&. If you set this variable, the prompt will not be translated\&. -.sp -If the string contains -\fI%s\fR, this will be replaced by the user\*(Aqs name\&. -.RE -.SH "FILES" -.PP -/etc/login\&.defs -.RS 4 -Shadow password suite configuration\&. -.RE -.PP -/etc/passwd -.RS 4 -User account information\&. -.RE -.SH "SEE ALSO" -.PP -\fBchsh\fR(1), -\fBlogin.defs\fR(5), -\fBpasswd\fR(5)\&. |
