[SOLVED] change user name...

Hi all,

I incorrectly created the wrong user name... is there a way to rename this & also the /home/usernamefolder as well?
Or just create a new user & delete the incorrect one?

Also will settings be corrupt?  I've got KDE installed.

TIA

Re: [SOLVED] change user name...

usermod -l $newname; mv /home/$oldname /home/$newname

Worked fine here.
