37   Constructors
38       Extends "Constructors" in User::Identity::Item.

40       User::Identity::System->new( [$name], %options )
41           Create a new system.  You can specify a name as first argument, or
42           in the OPTION list.  Without a specific name, the organization is
43           used as name.

54
55           description => STRING
56           hostname => DOMAIN
57             The hostname of the described system.  It is preferred to use
58             full system names, not abbreviations.  For instance, you can
59             better use "www.tux.aq" than "www" to avoid confusion.
60
61           location => NICKNAME|OBJECT
62             The NICKNAME of a location which is defined for the same user.
63             You can also specify a User::Identity::Location OBJECT.
64
65           name => STRING
66           os => STRING
67             The name of the operating system which is run on the server.  It
68             is advised to use the names as used by Perl's $^O variable.  See
69             the perlvar man-page for this variable, and perlport for the
70             possible values.
71
72           parent => OBJECT
73           password => STRING
74             The password to be used to login.  This password must be un-
75             encoded: directly usable.  Be warned that storing un-encoded
76             passwords is a high security list.
77
78           username => STRING
79             The username to be used to login to this host.
80

85           Inherited, see "Attributes" in User::Identity::Item
86
87       $obj->hostname()
88       $obj->location()
89           Returns the object which describes to which location this system
90           relates.  The location may be used to find the name of the
91           organization involved, or to create a signature.  If no location is
92           specified, undef is returned.

DIAGNOSTICS

133       Error: $object is not a collection.
134           The first argument is an object, but not of a class which extends
135           User::Identity::Collection.
136
137       Error: Cannot load collection module for $type ($class).
138           Either the specified $type does not exist, or that module named
139           $class returns compilation errors.  If the type as specified in the
140           warning is not the name of a package, you specified a nickname
141           which was not defined.  Maybe you forgot the 'require' the package
142           which defines the nickname.
143
144       Error: Creation of a collection via $class failed.
145           The $class did compile, but it was not possible to create an object
146           of that class using the options you specified.
147
148       Error: Don't know what type of collection you want to add.
149           If you add a collection, it must either by a collection object or a
150           list of options which can be used to create a collection object.
151           In the latter case, the type of collection must be specified.
152
153       Warning: No collection $name
154           The collection with $name does not exist and can not be created.
