       chfn - change real user name and information

SYNOPSIS

       chfn [options] [LOGIN]

BESKRIVELSE

       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.

TILVALG

       The options which apply to the chfn command are:

       -f, --full-name FULL_NAME
           Ændr brugerens navn.

       -h, --home-phone HOME_PHONE
           Ændr brugerens telefonnummer.

       -o, --other OTHER
           Ændr brugerens anden GECOS-information. Dette felt bruges til at gemme kontoinformation brugt af
           andre programmer, og kan kun ændres af en superbruger.

       -r, --room ROOM_NUMBER
           Ændr brugerens værelsesnummer.

       -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
           Vis hjælpeteksten og afslut.

       -w, --work-phone WORK_PHONE
           Ændr brugerens arbejdsnummer.

       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.
