==Changing finger information==
Finger information is what people see when they "finger" you, this shows your username as well as your real name. At first, your real name and username will both be set to the same thing. Basically, this name is used when posting to the news boards and when e-mailing. If you'd like to change what it says, this is how:
At the prompt, type chfn like so:

and hit return. Next it'll ask for your password, just type it in the same as you would when logging in

And you're done. As it says, this may take effect instantly or in ten minutes, but it will change.
