Hi Alex!

Actually, I think that what you're trying to do here is unsupported. The GECOS field in /etc/passwd should contain the following fields: Full name,Room number,Work phone,Home Phone,Other. The comma is the separator here.

By using commas in the "Full name" field in Rudder's Technique, you're effectively trying to use the "Full name" field as "GECOS" field. This is not supported, the point of this field is to fill in the "Full name".

However, there is indeed a bug here: we should filter out commas to avoid "breaking" the GECOS field, and make sure the Technique only changes the first field.

We could, of course, add a new Technique version to also manage the others fields from GECOS. Would this be useful to you?

Hi Jonathan,

thanks for the explaining :-)
I thought with the "Full name" field you meant the entire GECOS field, so I tried this.

It isn't necessary for me, but maybe it's quite useful for others to add this feature.

After rereading the whole thread, the idea of this ticket is to set the GECOS field, not simply the full user name
So making it an user story
