Versions of chfn

[Christopher Yeoh <cyeoh@linuxcare.com.au>]

I'm working my way through documenting the commands required by the
LSB. There appear to be at least two versions of chfn in use which
take different (conflicting) parameters.

Debian:

chfn [-f full_name] [-r room_no]
     [-w work_ph] [-h home_ph] [-o other] [user]

Red Hat:

chfn [ -f full-name ]     [ -o office ]    [ -p office-phone ]
     [ -h home-phone ] [ -u ] [ -v ] [ username ]

I'm inclined to use the former. It is included in the shadow package
from which the useradd, usermod, groupadd, etc tools come from. It
also appears to be more configurable. Does anyone have any major
objections?

We have to decide on one of them (or a compatible subset).

Chris.
