invalid prepopulated values for user system

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

In User.pm is prepopulating the system account, and missing some required fields
namely email and preferences.

if ($self->username eq 'system'){
        $self->uid(1);
        $self->is_admin(1);
        $self->permissions({
            class_id => {
                0 => 1,
            },
            host_id => {
                0 => 1,
            },
            program_id => {
                0 => 1,
            },
            node_id => {
                0 => 1,
            },
            filter => '',
        });
        return $self;
    }
by adding before the return it allows the system account to work properly.

        $self->email('system@localhost');
        $self->preferences($self->_get_preferences());
Thnks

I can add those in there, but I want to make sure I understand what the true 
problem is.  Are you getting errors are unexpected behavior because the email 
and preferences aren't in the system account?  System is special, so it should 
not be used for normal logins.

i just installed and changed the password for system to be login, then tried to 
access to the stats menu and got a stacktrace of Moose cause those two 
properties where not set.

Thnks D.

Using the system user as a normal logged in user is not supported because it is 
supposed to serve as a reserved account.  You should set a password for the 
"user" user if you want to enable a password, or better, create a user by 
adding an entry to the users table.
