To Change Personal Information
On HP-UX, users change their personal information (sometimes called
“gecos” information) such as full name, phone number, and location with
the chfn(1) command which changes /etc/passwd. HP-UX users change
their login shell with the chsh(1) command, which also changes
/etc/passwd. See the LDAP-UX Integration B.03.20 Release Notes for
whether or not these commands change entries in the directory with this
release.
If you have Netscape Directory Server for HP-UX, you can use the
Netscape Console or the ldapmodify command to change personal
information. Or you can use a simple LDAP gateway through a web
browser to display and change this information.
