Ok, I get how to set the username and password functions for the connecting 
client.

I do not, however, see how I set what usernames and passwords are authorized 
on the server end.  Do you have to call something after dbus_bus_register ?

The details on this type of thing are extremely sketchy i the API docs and 
examples.
