You don't want to run the server as root: it's much much safer to run it
as a new user (with a "locked" account -- it doesn't need to log in).

I run it as 'slimserver' with its own group, though I don't use group
permissions.

My music directory is own by me (user 'bem'), but everything is
world-readable, so the server can get to it.

This is pretty much the same way that Apache is set up: except it runs
as www-data, but the web pages need to be world-readable, too.

I don't know how RH structures things so I can only guess on specifics
on how to do that.
