In principle, changing the name is trivial as long as you don't change the UID and GID. The only places the actual name is stored is in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, so the right UID/GID combo can be set up when you log in. I say "in principle" since you might have used the name in some script or other (e.g. rsync has an option to use the actual name when copying files remotely). It might be simpler to persuade Unison to map one name onto the other, if such a thing is possible. poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
