I did that with adduser but probably forgot something as I was not able 
to login. Thus I used drakuser with the option to activate the automatic 
connexion option while adding a new user (My Linux is a Mandrake Linux 
distro) and It worked.

Here fpacnode is in /usr/local/sbin/ so I checked that every directory 
in the path had the a+x permission.

Just before the prompt I had some garbage and an error message telling 
thzere was no write permission on loggedin until I did a chmod a+w 
loggedin. Then everything performed well and when I login from the 
console as fpacuser I have directly fpacnode prompt.

My knowledge in Linux is so poor that I still cannnot figure out how you 
configure Linux so that ssh handles fpacuser login !
