Hello,
I'd like to change my username if possible. The reason is that it is my actual name, and I'd like to remove it from search engines.
If it is possible, I'd like to change it to creeps. Thanks in advance! (1 Reply)

After mis-typing my password once, I logged in. And after the "welcome Clovis_Sangrail" message displayed for a little less than a second, the display changed to a screen to recover my username and/or my password (it prompted for an email address).

PAM_CHAUTHTOK(3) Linux-PAM Manual PAM_CHAUTHTOK(3)
NAME
pam_chauthtok - updating authentication tokens
SYNOPSIS
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
int pam_chauthtok(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The pam_chauthtok function is used to change the authentication token for a given user (as indicated by the state associated with the
handle pamh).
The pamh argument is an authentication handle obtained by a prior call to pam_start(). The flags argument is the binary or of zero or more
of the following values:
PAM_SILENT
Do not emit any messages.
PAM_CHANGE_EXPIRED_AUTHTOK
This argument indicates to the modules that the users authentication token (password) should only be changed if it has expired. If this
argument is not passed, the application requires that all authentication tokens are to be changed.
RETURN VALUES
PAM_AUTHTOK_ERR
A module was unable to obtain the new authentication token.
PAM_AUTHTOK_RECOVERY_ERR
A module was unable to obtain the old authentication token.
PAM_AUTHTOK_LOCK_BUSY
One or more of the modules was unable to change the authentication token since it is currently locked.
PAM_AUTHTOK_DISABLE_AGING
Authentication token aging has been disabled for at least one of the modules.
PAM_PERM_DENIED
Permission denied.
PAM_SUCCESS
The authentication token was successfully updated.
PAM_TRY_AGAIN
Not all of the modules were in a position to update the authentication token(s). In such a case none of the user's authentication
tokens are updated.
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
User unknown to password service.
