Adduser has an option for that. When asked what shell put in "no".
When asked for a path just put in the root for the system (eg
'/usr/local/apache'). Or you could do it long hand. Just use vipw and put in
what ever you want.
I put in the rootdir of the system so that things like ~apache have meaning.
