That part I know. What I've never looked into is how to change the name of user dick to user rsteff, not from a file ownership perspective, but from who is logged in. I'm sure I could create another user named rsteff, but I don't think that's what I mean to do, either.
Dick, Perhaps this will help: <https://askubuntu.com/questions/34074/how-do-i-change-my-username#34075> For details, 'man usermod(8)': NAME usermod - modify a user account SYNOPSIS usermod [options] LOGIN DESCRIPTION The usermod command modifies the system account files to reflect the changes that are specified on the command line. ... -l, --login NEW_LOGIN The name of the user will be changed from LOGIN to NEW_LOGIN. Nothing else is changed. In particular, the user's home directory or mail spool should probably be renamed manually to reflect the new login name.
