I would think the RPM would create the slimserver user by itself.. the
deb does.
As for making a whole directory tree world readable:
cd /home/me/music
find . -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \;
What the first find command does: from the current directory (the "."),
if it's a directory, run "chmod 0755 name" (the {}'s get replaced with
the name of the file, and you need the "\;" to mark the end of the
command for exec).
The second does the same but only for files, and makes them 0644.
In unix, 0755 = rwxr-xr-x, which lets the owner read, write and
"execute", and no one else can write. (Execute on directories means it
is "searchable") 0644 = rw-r--r--, meaning owner can read/write files,
but everyone else is stuck read-only.)
If you use Samba to move stuff, it can be useful to tell Samba to make
everything new have these permissions, so you won't have to think about
it later. Look in the [homes] section of /etc/samba/smb.conf .. set
create and directory masks there to 755: that will drop force new items
to be created like above: read/write/execute by owner, but no writing
for anyone else.
