Be sure to check /etc/shadow and /etc/group. Typically SuSE sets up using the /etc/shadow to store the real user passwords and the user name is in there as well. Plus if you have made any extra configuration to smb.conf, sendmail, and so forth, you need to look there, as well. regards, jimmo On Saturday 30 March 2002 06:16, Jerry Van Brimmer wrote:

Is there a way to chane my user account name from jerry to jerryvb without reinstalling?
Provided that you don't need to change your UID, I think you can just change /etc/passwd, then rename your home directory.
I'm sure that someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
