Renaming home folder

[evilbunny]

After renaming the default user rock, I followed the instructions on the wiki to rename the home folder, using the following command in root terminal:

Code:

usermod -d /home/rock -m NewUser

I get the message returned:

Code:

usermod: no changes

How do I rename the default rock folder, so that my home folder name and user name match? I'm running the default Debian MATE OS.

What happens if you log into a console as root and then mv /home/rock /home/NEWUSERNAME and then edit passwd with the new path for the user?
