Usermod has the capability. usermod -d home_dir The user's new login directory. If the -m option is given the contents of the current home directory will be moved to the new home directory, which is created if it does not already exist. -l login_name The name of the user will be changed from login to login_name. Nothing else is changed. In particu lar, the user's home directory name should probably be changed to reflect the new login name.
I would imagine this to be the easiest process rather than editing /etc/passwd directly, etc. Peter. -- In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry, and has been widely regarded as a bad idea. *************************************************************** *Peter Good Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *Pete's Internet Services Sales: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * *http://www.petesinternet.net Phone: 0401 283 482 * *Morayfield QLD Australia * ***************************************************************
