Change username in Linux

[Tor]

It is fairly simple but here is the command:

# usermod -l <New Name> <Old Name>

Replace <New Name> with the new username you want and replace <Old Name> with the current user name (or the old username). Hope it helps!

Linux is an easy and glorius O/S and very simple to use once you learn how. Keep reading the tutorials here and if you have any questions ask and someone will either give you a solution or point you in the right direction
