>From /etc/login.defs: # # Which fields may be changed by regular users using chfn - use # any combination of letters "frwh" (full name, room number, work # phone, home phone). If not defined, no changes are allowed. # For backward compatibility, "yes" = "rwh" and "no" = "frwh". # CHFN_RESTRICT rwh
