    <remarks>
      <para>
        The <see cref="T:Mono.Unix.UnixUserInfo" /> type is a FxDG-compliant
        wrapper over the <see cref="T:Mono.Unix.Native.Passwd" /> native type.
        It represents a single entry from the local password database, 
        typically <c>/etc/passwd</c>.

        Unix users are part of the file system access rules.

      <para>
        Access to file system objects 
        (as represented by <see cref="T:Mono.Unix.UnixFileSystemInfo" />)
        is controlled by the file system access permissions, 
        <see cref="P:Mono.Unix.UnixFileSystemInfo.FileAccessPermissions" />.
        <see cref="T:Mono.Unix.FileAccessPermissions" /> is a nine-bit field
        specifying read, write, and execute access for the owner, group, and
        everyone else (other).
      </para>
      <para>
        Access by the file's owner is controlled by the bits specified by

        &amp; 
        <see cref="F:Mono.Unix.FileAccessPermissions.UserReadWriteExecute" />)</c>.
        The owner permissions supersede group permissions and other
        permissions, even if the owner belongs to the group.
