Hi, I'm trying to learn how to use chpass to change a user's name. I'm not getting anywhere, I've read the man page and Googled, but can't find an example. I want to change toor's name to 'Nobody Important'. I do: # chpass -a toor::0:0:Nobody Important:/root:/sbin/nologin toor And I get: Corrupted entry. Can someone please set me straight? Thanks, Charles
