Hello All,
I want to know is there any command exists to change the unixuserid.
Example:
My user id is /home/test
I want to change the id test to dev i.e my home directory will become
/home/dev.
I know we can create new id and copy the files from test to dev and
delete the test id.
Instead of that if we have any shortcut/ command to just change the
loginid in solaris.
You're talking about a user*name*. Make sure you are logged out. Login
as root and :
# usermod -l dev test
# mv /home/test /home/dev
Even easier is to add the -m and -d options and let usermod do the move
itself
usermod -d /home/dev -m -l dev test
See usermod(8) for details ("man 8 usermod")
That should do it, but there might be braindead applications which
depend on your username and require hand-hacking. You'll notice their
whining soon enough.
Agreed
