How to Change Username in AlmaLinux - YouTube Script

Introduction (30 seconds)

Hello everyone. Welcome to my channel! Today, I will show you how to change the username in AlmaLinux.

Changing the Username

If you want to change the username of a user, you can use the usermod command followed by the -l option.

For example, We want to change the username of “john” to “jonathan”

Let’s check the existing users first.

cat /etc/passwd | grep john

This command will display the list of users on the system. If you see “john” in the list, it means the username has not been changed yet.

sudo usermod -l jonathan john

This command changes the username from “john” to “jonathan”. Let’s check if the username has been changed successfully.

id jonathan

This command will display the user ID and group ID of the user “jonathan”. If you see the user ID and group ID, it means the username has been changed successfully.
