[FGS] base installer errors

[Matt Wilkie]

Bonjour Guillaume,

> You may be the first to install FGS on ubuntu system. 

but not surely not the first on a debian-based system? ubuntu hasn't 
strayed *that* far from it's roots (i don't think anyway).


> /usr/sbin/adduser apache -s /sbin/nologin -d $FGS_HOME/www -c 'Apache -
> FGS'

I don't have a nologin program. This is what I have:
# locate nologin
/etc/init.d/rmnologin
/etc/rc2.d/S99rrmnologin
/etc/rc3.d/S99rrmnologin
/etc/rc4.d/S99rrmnologin
/etc/rc5.d/S99rrmnologin
/usr/share/man/man5/nologin.5.gz
/lib/security/pam_nologin.so

# /usr/sbin/adduser .....etc
adduser: no more than two names.

I have a series of directories /etc/rc#.d/ where # is 0-9 plus S.
I'm not very knowledgable about this part of linux in general let alone 
ubuntu specific.

thanks for your help,
