this is part of the reason I uninstalled slimserver from my normal user
account (not an administrator, but plenty of personal information), and
reinstalled it under a dedicated slimserver user account. I then gave
the new slimserver user read-only access to my music library and
read-write to the playlists folder.

if someone exploits a buffer overflow in the slimserver software they
won't get very far. okay they could trash my slimserver installation
and copy all my music, but they wouldn't able to access any of my other
files or delete any music.
