            The InfoPipe responder provides a public D-Bus interface
            accessible over the system bus. The interface allows the user
            to query information about remote users and groups over the
            system bus.

                    <listitem>
                        <para>
                            Specifies the comma-separated list of UID values or
                            user names that are allowed to access the InfoPipe
                            responder. User names are resolved to UIDs at
                            startup.

                        <para>
                            Default: 0 (only the root user is allowed to access
                            the InfoPipe responder)
                        </para>
                        <para>
                            Please note that although the UID 0 is used as the
                            default it will be overwritten with this option. If
                            you still want to allow the root user to access the
                            InfoPipe responder, which would be the typical
                            case, you have to add 0 to the list of allowed UIDs
                            as well.

                            be requested. This set is the same as returned by

                            It is possible to add another attribute to
                            this set by using <quote>+attr_name</quote>
                            or explicitly remove an attribute using
                            <quote>-attr_name</quote>. For example, to
                            allow <quote>telephoneNumber</quote> but deny
                            <quote>loginShell</quote>, you would use the
                            following configuration:
                        <programlisting>
user_attributes = +telephoneNumber, -loginShell
                        </programlisting>
                        </para>
                        <para>
                            Default: not set. Only the default set of
                            POSIX attributes is allowed.
                        </para>
                    </listitem>
                </varlistentry>
            </variablelist>
