Modifying User Properties
To view the properties of an existing user, click on the Users tab, select the user from the user list, and click Properties from the button menu (or choose File => Properties from the pull-down menu). A window similar to Figure 24-3 will appear.
The User Properties window is divided into tabbed pages:
User Data — Basic user information configured when you added the user. Use this tab to change the user's full name, password, home directory, or login shell.
Account Info — Select Enable account expiration if you want the account to expire on a certain date. Enter the date in the provided fields. Select User account is locked to lock the user account so that the user can not log in to the system.
Password Info — This tab shows the date that the user last changed his password. To force the user to change his password after a certain number of days, select Enable password expiration. You can also set the number of days before the user is allowed to change his password, the number of days before the user is warned to change his password, and days before the account become inactive.
Groups — Select the groups that you want the user to be a member of and the user's primary group.
