Password change
#13
@martinayotte, agreed.

Except the original requester was not changing the "user name", but wanting to change the "full name". Here is the before and after of what @FeMike wanted;
Code:
newuser:x:1000:1000:rock,,,New User:/home/newuser:/bin/bash
newuser:x:1000:1000:New User,,,:/home/newuser:/bin/bash
This occured because the instructions I copied from a forum post, were in-correctly using "chfn -o" when it should have been "chfn -f".
