This little "story" is probably right up your alley...
So I wanted to encrypt my Mac Mini's hard disk.
Researched a bit and came to the conclusion that "FileVault" (a built-in MacOS feature) is the way to go if you want to encrypt the boot drive.
So went to System Preferences, Security, FileVault and clicked "Turn On FileVault". Easy enough. It started encrypting the disk right away while I was still able to use the system (good).
I then quickly realized that this is infeasible, as the Mac is headless and to enter the FileVault (login) password, you need to physically connect a keyboard and monitor.
So, wanted to stop the encryption process.
NOT POSSIBLE! I had to wait 12 hours for it to complete before I could revert the encryption.
This doesn't make a lot of sense -- I mean, the encryption seems to be per-file anyway (as otherwise I wouldn't be able to continue using the system with a half-encrypted drive), so it would probably be trivial at the system level to abort the encryption process at any time. There's just no UI for it.
Anyway, after encryption completed, I saw the biggest blunder: MacOS failed to update the "Turn On/Off FileVault" button. It originally said "Turn On FileVault", then after encryption finished, "Turn Off FileVault", which I pressed. But: After decryption finished as well, it didn't update again to "Turn On FileVault". So, I almost ended up encrypting my disk again (another 12 hours would've been added to the already 24 hours!) because of the wrong button label.
Oh well. Not that well implemented!
Yeah I should've thought of the headless problem before encrypting the disk, but my brain isn't in the best working order recently 😄
I'm now using an encrypted, mounted APFS disk image (can be created via Disk Utility) as an "encrypted folder" instead (I don't need the OS itself to be encrypted), and on Linux I use LUKS.
Did you check if they maybe just use a standard POSIX mechanism for storing the "Full name"? I seem to remember there is something like that and you should then be able to change it by editing /etc/passwd or something, but I may be completely off. No surprise given the constant stream of cars and tractors on the road next to my house 😂
Hah, just checked and that's indeed the case. Crazy.
Have you checked this "Open Directory" thing?
