[vox-tech] Can a username be changed?

[Bill Kendrick]

Is there a way to change a user's login name under Unix?

Is it safe enough to simply rename their home directory and
edit their entry in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow?

Or am I dealing with dangerous powers, and would be safe enough
creating a brand new user and deleting the old one?
