User::Identity::System-> new([NAME], OPTIONS)

Create a new system. You can specify a name as first argument, or in the OPTION list. Without a specific name, the organization is used as name.

 Option     --Defined in     --Default
 description  User::Identity::Item  undef
 hostname                      'localhost'
 location                      undef

 username                      undef

. description => STRING

. hostname => DOMAIN

The hostname of the described system. It is prefered to use full system names, not abbreviations. For instance, you can better use "www.tux.aq" than "www" to avoid confusion.

. location => NICKNAME|OBJECT

The NICKNAME of a location which is defined for the same user. You can also specify a User::Identity::Location OBJECT.

. name => STRING

. os => STRING

The name of the operating system which is run on the server. It is adviced to use the names as used by Perl's $^O variable. See the perlvar man-page for this variable, and perlport for the possible values.

. parent => OBJECT

. password => STRING

The password to be used to login. This password must be un-encoded: directly usable. Be warned that storing un-encoded passwords is a high security list.

. username => STRING

The username to be used to login to this host.
