Could you please give some background information about this project? Namely, I wonder what is intended difference between this project and freedesktop's AccountsService[1]? For my untrained eye these look very similar. [1] http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/AccountsService/ Thanks for your comments.. Main objective is to provide dbus APIs for creating/deleting/updating users/groups through gumd. There are some similarities between accountservice and gumd from the APIs perspective, but there are some notable differences as well. - accountservice does not provide any APIs for groups creation/deletion/updation. - multiple credentials per user (e.g. password and NFC tag) support is also planned to be added to gumd, which does not exist in accountservice. - accounts service is mostly a wrapper around command line scripts (e.g. "/usr/sbin/useradd") and systemd-login APIs, whereas gumd does not depend on any command line scripts. - gumd focuses on related functionality of user and groups creation/deletion only, whereas accountservice mixes user creation/deletion, seat related info, login/session info etc into one component.
