Assuming you have local password authentication and not in NIS setup.

1. you can manually edit /etc/passwd file and change the user name.

2. Use the command usermod. Refer to the manual for the option:
-c comment Specifies the comment field present in the /etc/passwd entry of this login. This can be any text string. A short description of the new login is suggested for this field.

Disclaimer: If you are not a Unix Admin or savvy, be careful not to mess up anything.

Hi,

Thanks for the info, will give a try.
