If a user wants to change his name on my system, what have I got to do if I want to do it without yast?
is it only... - renaming his ~ - editing his name in shadow ?

Yopu should use the usermod command rather than editing the files directly. This allows you to change the name of the home directory in /etc/passwd, but you will still need to rename the directory. regards, jimmo -- --------------------------------------- "Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation.
