Edit A user
I have been able to to complete the add and delete a user portion of my menu however I seem to have also included in my menu "Edit a User" I am not sure how to do this being new to all of this.
Sorry I guess I should have included what I have done so far and also mention I am using REDHAT 8
This is what I have come up with so far as a script to add and remove a user

To Add a user

# useradd <users name>

# passwd <users name>

Then to remove a user:

# userdel <users name>

# rm -Rf /home/<user name>

Now let's say I want to edit a users information how would I do that?

Checkout man for pages on

1.usermod [This has got several options.....]
2.chfn

These commands can be used to modify the user info.

P.S :- If you can point out to wat you want to change....I can help you better

<edit> Welcome to LQ.

I have a person who married and she would like to change her name. Would it be just as easy to del her and the recreate?

Suppose my name is sumanth.
My user i.d SaTaN

If I want to change my name to sumanth_iyer , then ....

chfn -f sumanth_iyer SaTaN

would do it for you...

Yes Thank You
