CHFN(1)

名称
chfn - 更改真名和信息

大纲

chfn [选项] [登录]

描述

The chfn command changes user fullname, office room number, office phone number, and home phone number information for a user's account. This information is typically printed by finger(1) and similar programs. A normal user may only change the fields for her own account, subject to the restrictions in /etc/login.defs. (The default configuration is to prevent users from changing their fullname.) The superuser may change any field for any account. Additionally, only the superuser may use the -o option to change the undefined portions of the GECOS field.

These fields must not contain any colons. Except for the other field, they should not contain any comma or equal sign. It is also recommended to avoid non-US-ASCII characters, but this is only enforced for the phone numbers. The other field is used to store accounting information used by other applications.

选项

chfn 命令可以接受的选项有：

-f, --full-name FULL_NAME
    更改用户的全名

-h, --home-phone HOME_PHONE
    Change the user's home phone number.

-o, --other OTHER
    Change the user's other GECOS information. This field is used to store accounting information used by other applications, and can be changed only by a superuser.

-r, --room ROOM_NUMBER
    Change the user's room number.

-R, --root CHROOT_DIR
    Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the CHROOT_DIR directory.

-u, --help
    现实帮助信息并退出。

-w, --work-phone WORK_PHONE
    Change the user's office phone number.

If none of the options are selected, chfn operates in an interactive fashion, prompting the user with the current values for all of the fields. Enter the new value to change the field, or leave the line blank to use the current value. The current value is displayed between a pair of [ ] marks. Without options, chfn prompts for the current user account.

配置文件

在 /etc/login.defs 中有如下配置变量，可以用来更改此工具的行为：

CHFN_AUTH (boolean)
    如果为 yes，chfn 进行任何更改前都要要求认证，除非由超级用户运行。

CHFN_RESTRICT (string)
    This parameter specifies which values in the gecos field of the /etc/passwd file may be changed by regular users using the chfn program. It can be any combination of letters f, r, w, h, for Full name, Room number, Work phone, and Home phone, respectively. For backward compatibility, yes is equivalent to rwh and no is equivalent to frwh. If not specified, only the superuser can make any changes. The most restrictive setting is better achieved by not installing chfn SUID.

LOGIN_STRING (string)
    此字符串用于提示输入密码。默认是 "Password: "，或者翻译了的结果(汉语中翻译为了“密码：”)。如果设置了此变量，提示不会被翻译。

    如果字符串包含 %s，将会被用户名替换。

文件

/etc/login.defs
    Shadow 密码套件配置。

/etc/passwd
    用户账户信息。
