A GUI tool to change the short username
Authored by: elmimmo on Sep 06, '04 12:53:35PM

Are you sure about that? Note that one would only want to type those commands when entering single user mode, as suggested in your Docs, in case something went wrong. Is netinfod really supposed to be running when in single user mode.

Whatever the answer is, I also had problem (ChangeShortName simply created a new user but did not mv the former user home folder), and niload just stays there doing nothing. Top revealed netinfod is not running when booting in single user mode, but unfortunately following alexg advice did not make niload work either.
