Hi all,
I am able to modify the Name of my user account (Users
Groups). However, that does not change the login name,
which is what I and most people would want to do. If I try
to login under the new name, it does not work. But the old
one, even though it has been changed, still works.
Is there an alternative way to do this? Can this bug be fixed?
Thanks. Great Work!
This isn’t a bug, the name used at login is attached to more than the users
home folder so a name change isn’t that simple and is quite possibly a security
problems as well.
I believe the only work round is to create a new user and copy the contents of
the old home folder, before deleting the old user.
