Problem: Change my displayed name on PRISM?
Entry: 0217

Solution:

To change your name, use the change finger name command ("chfn") on ACME.  Log into ACME and type:
chfn
You should see:
Enter new finger information for user userid or "none" to clear
[Current Name]:
When changing a full name, the current full name, enclosed between brackets, is displayed and prompts for a new full name.  If you press RETURN, the full name is not changed. If the full name is to be made blank, you must type the word "none".
