Hi David,

This should be done by soneone with privileged access whilst you are NOT logged in.

It is also assumed you have not encrypted your home directory.

Under those assumptions, here is a simple example:

# usermod -l <newname> -d /home/<newname> -m <oldname>

# groupmod -n <newgroup> <oldgroup>
