How to change my finger information?

Postby birberto » Thu Jan 26, 2006 4:44 pm

I read on a website that if I want to change my finger info then I can use 'chfn' or 'passwd -f' (both do the same thing). I tried this on Polarhome, but the line that I want to change - Full name and e-mail - cannot be changed. Only Room Number, Work Phone and Home Phone can be changed.
Or I'm not doing something right? Please enlighten me :) THX!

PS: I managed to make the .project file, which displays in the Project line what I want, but I would like that piece of information to be displayed in the Full Name line.
