Re: change displayed name of users object

Thanks for the link Derek.

I don't think it quite does what I want.

I guess I should have been more specific.

I want to change how the Users object is displayed in the Django admin.

This is a one line change in the Django code, but I would rather not change Django if I can avoid it.

Is there a way to do something like subclassing the Django Users object and use that for authentication instead of the original Users object?
