Identity & access management

Rename and relocate a user account

At Solstice Manufacturing, Dana Whitfield changed her last name to Okonkwo. Her Linux account login, display name, and home directory all still read the old name. You are signed in as root, so no sudo is needed. Use the usermod command in the terminal to bring her account record up to date, then confirm your work in /etc/passwd and /home.

Hint: usermod --help lists the options. The fields you change live in the 5 colon-separated columns of /etc/passwd.
