Change username

[freddo]

Hi,
I messed up a bit, and now I wonder, which file(s) gets changed when you edit the username with the function "modify an account" in WHM.

Thanks for your help

It will modify the entry for the new username in below files:

/etc/passwd
/etc/shadow
/etc/group
/etc/gshadow

Update quotas
`/etc/proftpd/oldusername' -> `/etc/proftpd/newusername'
`/var/cpanel/users/oldusername' -> `/var/cpanel/users/newusername'
`/home/oldusername' -> `/home/newusename
