There are many ways to modify existing users on your system, depending on what you want to do; the easiest is to edit the relevant files manually. To change a user's shell, use [[chsh]]. To change a user's name, edit [[/etc/passwd]]. To change a user's login name (account name,) you can also edit [[/etc/passwd]], but the easy (and safe!) way to do it is to add a new user and move the user's files over to the new user and chmod and chown everything to that new user.

Return to Users, modifying.
