The ui User Information utility

ui can:
List users from a given UID (or UID 500 by default)
List users in a group.
List expired or locked users
Rename a user (and his home directory)
Change a users shell
Add a user to a group
Print list output to the default printer

ui is a commandline utility that does many of the functions of the usermod command, while adding some much asked for options as well.

The ui utility renames a users account and home directory to the new username that you provide. ui updates the required system files and renames the users original directory. It them searches the users directory structure for any config files containing the old home path and changes those files. ui keeps a log for each user it changes containing all files that it made changes to.

ui is designed for system administrators that do not have the time or desire to make the needed changes by hand, or to create a scripts to produce some of it's functionality.
