What does it mean to "add a comment to a user"? Add it where?

A characteristic of a user?

You can use the chfn (change finger) command to edit the user's name, address, phone number, etc.

As Root:

Code:

# chfn <username>
Other than that, I don't know if you can add any "comments" to a user's account.

Luck!

You can add a comment to a user that you previously created with the usermod command:

Code:

usermod -c "comment" user
Where "comment" is whatever you want the comment to be and user is the user name you want to change
