Does what it says!

Feedback Type:  Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

A very handy little program that does what it says in a simple, straightforward fashion. Until this appeared changing a users shortname was a trying process at best via terminal and NetInfoManager and rarely was it done as completely.

Kudos to Dan Frakes and co. for a handy little resource! He's been an asset to the Mac community for as long as I can recall (going way back to the classic InformInit)!

NOTE: If you are on 10.5 aka Leopard you shouldn't use this! Similar functionality is built into the Users Pref Pane (right click on your user to edit the short name, etc).
