just my two cents... should you not also change the 'fed' entry in /etc/shadow ? and check the /etc/group file??
That is probably the reason why the "usermod" command was invented.
usermod --login=fred --home=/home/fred --move-home fed
will get the job done.

Thank you for your suggestion - however I could not make it work. The main error was that the actual directory represented by "--move-home fed" did not exist according to usermod. And getting a blank line when one executed 'usermod --usage' did not help at all :-) . As you may have read in my reply to Anders I repaired my typing error and now have my correct logon name.
