Original question:

> I'm trying to rename a user on a system with enhanced security enabled
> from the command line.

The answer was surprising simple:

   usermod -l <newname> <oldname>

That modified /etc/passwd and created an enhanced security record for
the new user.

I did have to use edauth to enable the newly-renamed user and I also
needed to do an edauth -r <oldname> to tidy up and remove the enhanced
security record for the original username.

Thanks so much to...

Cheers,
Jon
