Debian's "other" does not appear to follow the GECOS properties. http://www.mcsr.olemiss.edu/cgi-bin/man-cgi?passwd+4 George Kraft IV [EMAIL PROTECTED] IBM Linux Technology Center FSG's Linux Standard Base To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Versions of chfn I'm working my way through documenting the commands required by the LSB. There appear to be at least two versions of chfn in use which take different (conflicting) parameters. Debian: chfn [-f full_name] [-r room_no] [-w work_ph] [-h home_ph] [-o other] [user] Red Hat: chfn [ -f full-name ] [ -o office ] [ -p office-phone ] [ -h home-phone ] [ -u ] [ -v ] [ username ] I'm inclined to use the former. It is included in the shadow package from which the useradd, usermod, groupadd, etc tools come from. It also appears to be more configurable. Does anyone have any major objections? We have to decide on one of them (or a compatible subset). Chris. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Support Open Source Ice-Cream -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with subject of "unsubscribe".
