Another thing, after clearing out everything and re-installing I got
this message in the log file (over and over):
Couldn't write preferences file out /etc/slimserver6.conf
It appears that this file was created by slimserver under user root...
After a chown slimserver:slimserver, things were able to be saved in
the prefs file...
What do I need to do to have this run as user slimserver?? I have
everything under /usr/local/slimserver6 as user slimserver:slimserver,
my startup script uses --user slimserver and still... what am I
missing?
Thanks,
Daniel
