I was wondering if there was a way to change the default GECOS fields on a user. Now, I don't mean change their name, number, shell, etc. What I mean is change the field-type/name itself.
Like, for example, since I never use the "Work-Phone" field, could I say, rename it to something else, like "Address" ?
Also, is it possible to add completely new field entries as well?
All I could really find through searching is how to change the fields that are already set.
