Quick way to update user information for fingering

You can use the usermod command to update comments field or "Name" field

# usermod -c "User1 Name" user1

Alternatively, you can edit directly at the /etc/passwd 5th column
user1:x:524:100:User1 Name:/home/user1:/bin/bash

You can verify by fingering
# finger user1
