Hey Paul I do think this save actual information, think about the manual adding of a user from the terminal (adduser rather than useradd) It asks for full name, room number, work phone, home phone, and other. I think the information is actually stored in the password file, so you might need to include some sort of pkexec functionality in your program to reflect this. However it might store it differently. I do also know that usually a picture of the user is stored as ~/.face If you need help with the pkexec policy file let me know, it is an XML file so it is pretty easy to make -- Regards
