** Description changed: I have shell access to some systems where I am not root. I am trans woman and I legally changed my name in March and noticed that some systems are still showing my old name. I then tried to fix it by running `chfn` which helpfully automatically filled my old name and went to next field, "room number". I couldn't find reason for this from quick google search nor the manual page. Why Ubuntu doesn't respect the right of self-definition, isn't this against the Coc? UPDATE: I tried this on both systems, remote and local with same result. + + UPDATE2: FreeBSD allows changing all details with chsh including name. I + also tested with OS X which allows it too.
