[freeside] If not installation

[Kristian Hoffmann]

The mapsecrets file maps a remote user, as reported by apache, to a
secrets file in the conf directory.  So, for example, if you have a user
setup in your apache password file called frank, and you want him using
the /usr/local/etc/freeside/conf/secrets file, you would put...

frank conf/secrets

...in your mapsecrets file.  "conf" is an oversimplification of what the
configuration directory should be named, but it is sufficient for the
example.  fs-setup requires this file because it needs to access the
database and, thus, needs the secrets file.

I've noticed that the installation documentation is very sketchy.  There are no examples and the documentation on the /usr/local/etc/freeside/mapsecrets file is not complete.  While the format is sort of described, It is written in such a way that says I should already know how to format the file, when, in fact, I'm new to the game.  Worse, the fs-setup script depends upon this file and I can't get past that piece in order to work on the rest of the installation and configuration.  So if someone could point me to installation, help, I'd appreciate it.
