DESCRIPTION
     Modify an existing user account and do associated handling of user files
     if needed.

     The modifyUserAccount command has the following required parameter:

     -l login-name
          The login name of the user account to modify

     The modifyUserAccount command has the following optional parameters:

     -P   Indicates that the account password is to be replaced with a new
          password. The command will prompt the user for the new password.
          This option may not be used in conjunction with -N or with -R.

     -N   Indicates that the account password should be set to NULL.  The
          system will still display the password prompt when a password is
          required, but no password needs to be entered.  This option may not
          be used in conjunction with -P or -R.

     -R   Indicates that the account password should be deleted.  The system
          will not prompt for a password for this account.  This option may
          not be used in conjunction with -P or -N.

     -F new-full-name
          Indicates that the full name associated with the account is to be
          replaced with the new full name.

     -S new-shell-program
          Indicates that the shell program associated with this account is to
          be replaced with the new shell program.

     -G new-group-name or new-group-ID
          Indicates that the account should be associated with a new Primary
          group.  All files owned by this user and by the old group will be
          reassigned to the new group.  The primary group of network access
          accounts can not be changed with this command.

     -H new-home-dir
          Indicates that the home directory associated with this account is to
          be replaced with the new home directory.  To create the new home
          directory, you must also specify the -C option.  To copy the files
          in the old home directory to the new home directory, specify the -M
          option.  To delete the old home directory, specify the -D option.



                                                                        Page 1
