However, "Old Comment" remains. This is on purpose, per these lines in =E2=80=98allocate-passwd=E2=80=99 in= (gnu build accounts): (real-name (if previous (password-entry-real-name previous) real-name)) This wasn=E2=80=99t a firm decision, but I think the rationale here could be that we=E2=80=99d rather allow users to change their name with =E2=80=98chf= n=E2=80=99 to something other than what the sysadmin chose, than enforce the sysadmin=E2=80=99s choice. (Except that =E2=80=98chfn=E2=80=99 is currentl= y not setuid by default on Guix System, so the scenario above is unlikely.) Thoughts? Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
