To Change Personal Information

On HP-UX, users change their personal information (sometimes called “gecos” information) such as full name, phone number, and location with the chfn(1) command which changes /etc/passwd. HP-UX users change their login shell with the chsh(1) command, which also changes /etc/passwd. See the LDAP-UX Integration B.03.20 Release Notes for whether or not these commands change entries in the directory with this release.

If you have Netscape Directory Server for HP-UX, you can use the Netscape Console or the ldapmodify command to change personal information. Or you can use a simple LDAP gateway through a web browser to display and change this information.
