  Maybe. IRIX has no 'chfn' or 'chsh', so if you're a local user you're
  stuck. However, if your account is on NIS (Yellow Pages) you can use
  'ypchpass'. You might also ask your superuser to install one of the
  many free implementations of 'chfn' and/or 'chsh'; one is in volume 3
  of comp.sources.unix
  (ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/comp.sources.unix/volume3/).

Subject:  -103- How can I administer my Iris without a graphics
                terminal?

  The visual admin tools in IRIX 4.0.x ('vadmin') need GL, and do not
  work on X terminals or workstations without GL. You can use 'sysadm'
  on text terminals for some tasks, but beware of bugs and
  inadequacies: SGI judged 'sysadm' to be too buggy to be worth
  updating for IRIX 5.x.

  The visual admin tools in IRIX 5.2 and later should display on any X
  display, *except* for the backup/restore tool which is an exact port
  from IRIX 4.0.x and requires GL. Some images will be missing when GL
  is unavailable, but the tools will function properly. As for text
  terminals, you're out of luck: 'sysadm' does not exist in IRIX 5.x.

  Of course, you can always use a text editor and write scripts, or see
  the next question.
