Thanks for your reply. Another question is that, is it possible to edit the user's login name with .name. For example if i have added user name as rizwan, but now can i edit this user name as rizwan.khan. One solution is to edit /etc/passwd file, but i don't want to do this because in this way User Manager component of Linux can corrupt. Can you please suggest me other solution?
