.SH "NOM"
chfn \- Modifier le nom complet et les informations associ\('ees \(`a un utilisateur
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\fBchfn\fR\ 'u
\fBchfn\fR [\fIoptions\fR] [\fILOGIN\fR]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The
\fBchfn\fR
command changes user fullname, office room number, office phone number, and home phone number information for a user\*(Aqs account\&. 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
Modifier le nom complet de l\*(Aqutilisateur\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-home\-phone\fR\ \&\fIHOME_PHONE\fR
.RS 4
Modifier le num\('ero de t\('el\('ephone personnel de l\*(Aqutilisateur\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-other\fR\ \&\fIOTHER\fR
.RS 4
Modifier les informations GECO de l\*(Aqutilisateur\&. Ce champ est utilis\('e pour enregistrer les informations de l\*(Aqutilisateur utilis\('ees par d\*(Aqautres applications et peut \(^etre chang\('e seulement par un superutilisateur\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-room\fR\ \&\fIROOM_NUMBER\fR
.RS 4
Modifier le num\('ero de bureau de l\*(Aqutilisateur\&.
.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
Afficher un message d\*(Aqaide et quitter\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-w\fR, \fB\-\-work\-phone\fR\ \&\fIWORK_PHONE\fR
.RS 4
Modifier le num\('ero de t\('el\('ephone professionnel de l\*(Aqutilisateur\&.
.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
La cha\(^ine de caract\(`eres utilis\('ee pour l\*(Aqinvite de mot de passe\&. La valeur par d\('efaut est d\*(Aqutiliser "Password: " (\(Fo\ \&mot de passe\ \&:\ \&\(Fc), ou une traduction de cette cha\(^ine\&. Si vous d\('efinissez cette variable, l\*(Aqinvite ne sera pas traduite\&.
.sp
If the string contains
\fI%s\fR, this will be replaced by the user\*(Aqs name\&.
.RE
.SH "FICHIERS"
.PP
/etc/login\&.defs
.RS 4
Configuration de la suite des mots de passe cach\('es \(Fo\ \&shadow password\ \&\(Fc\&.
.RE
.PP
/etc/passwd
.RS 4
Informations sur les comptes des utilisateurs\&.
.RE
.SH "VOIR AUSSI"
.PP
\fBchsh\fR(1),
\fBlogin.defs\fR(5),
\fBpasswd\fR(5)\&.
