Change the username

[kspoosh]

Hello,

We got one client that would like to change username.
Is it possible in an easy way to change to a new username?

I tried to search the forum, but I did not find any good solutions.

Thanks for your help!

I have to change a username as well.

I do not know how to begin to do the below:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts
./change_username.sh olduser newuser

Please let me know where do I go first to make this change.

What tool do I use to even do this? I need steps in order to accomplish this.

Thanks so much!

Hello,

If you're not at all farmiliar with ssh, you may want to hire an administrator.

Ssh is the back door to your system as root, which is how most administrative tasks are done.

Very basic intro to ssh (but not a full lesson):
