Summary     : D-Bus interfaces for querying and manipulating user account information
Description :
The accountsservice project provides a set of D-Bus interfaces for
querying and manipulating user account information and an implementation
of these interfaces, based on the useradd, usermod and userdel commands.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

A large number of fixes following a code review by Miroslav Trmac.    For the
dialog:  * Fix problems with the handling of locked accounts    * Make autologin
settings work    * Don't allow changing usernames    * Don't use SetIconData,
this call was dropped from the    AccountsService api    * Use the same username
validation as shadow-utils    For the service:   - Always require user-
administration privilege when setting a password     or changing a username   -
Allow changing password mode and password even when the account is     locked,
and unlock it as a side-effect   - Use /etc/shadow to store account locking and
'set password at next     login' information and monitor /etc/shadow for changes
- Set loginuid when runing commands on behalf of a user to generate     proper
audit records   - Drop SetIconData and make SetIconFile copy the file when
appropriate.     As a consequence, the service no longer links against image
libraries.   - Various other robustness and error-handling fixes    There is
also a number of translation updates.
