Hi...
I'm new to this so please forgive lack of knowledge...

I originally ran Slimserver 5.4.x on Windows XP and had no problems, but as I like to leave Windows machines switched off as much as possible, I decided to run it on my Linux NetMax (www.netmax.com) 4.x server which is on all the time. RPM installed with no probs to /var/local/slimserver , a recommended location for non-NetMax apps to reside. A few problems, however, running it:

1. The server does not start successfully on boot, giving me a [FAILED] and the error "nice: invalid priority --user". However I can cd to the directory and start it manually with the slimserver user. It then serves music flawlessly to one hardware and several software devices.

2. While I could access RSS streams with the plugin on the Windows version, I can't on the Linux setup: it can't access the RSS data

3. While I could access my Live365.com account with the Windows version, here the plugin won't log in and I get "login problem" displayed. This is a pain as other methods of squirting a 365 VIP URL at it have problems (the account ultimately times out, part of 365's security process, so I have to re-specify the login every few days).

I'll move to 6.x as soon as my SB2 arrives, but would like to get the previous release version fully operational first. I couldn't see any bugs of this ilk listed so my temptation is that it's probably a permissions issue, but I do not have enought data to tie it down further.

Any ideas or suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks in advance.
