Wouldn't it be simpler to edit the name & home dir in /etc/passwd, and rename the /home directory name?
Small success story here. Since I can't stand using the console and I know there are others like me, I thought I'd just post the command line history of how I was able to rename the knoppix account to kethinov to serve as a guide to anyone who didn't know how to do that, like me.
Code:root@klinux:~# userdel knoppix root@klinux:~# adduser Enter a username to add: kethinov Adding user kethinov... Adding new group kethinov (1000). Adding new user kethinov (1000) with group kethinov. Creating home directory /home/kethinov. Copying files from /etc/skel Enter new UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: passwd: password updated successfully Changing the user information for kethinov Enter the new value, or press ENTER for the default Full Name []: Room Number []: Work Phone []: Home Phone []: Other []: Is the information correct? [y/n] y root@klinux:~# rm -rf /home/kethinov root@klinux:~# mv /home/knoppix /home/kethinov root@klinux:~# chown -R kethinov /home/kethinov root@klinux:~#
