Command: passwd, chfn, chsh - change a login password, full name or
shell
Syntax: passwd [user]
chfn [user] fullname
chfn [user] shell
Flags: (none)
Examples: passwd # Change current user's password
passwd ast # Change ast's password (super-user
only)
chsh /usr/bin/mail # For those who only read mail
chfn 'Jane Doe' # Current user is Jane Doe
Passwd is used to change your password. It prompts for the old and
new passwords. It asks for the new password twice, to reduce the effect
of a typing error. Chfn changes the full name (GECOS field) in the
password file. Chsh changes your login shell. Do not forget to copy
the modified password file back to the root file system, or the changes
will be lost when the system is rebooted.
