I took a minute and did an rpm -e and was suprised to see that
/usr/local/slimserver is still populated with a whole mess of files:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ls -1 /usr/local/slimserver/
__AUTO_PURGE__
Cache
FileCache
fontcache
my.cnf
MySQL
slimserversql.db
templates
usr

It really shouldn't be populated with anything.  An installation from
RPM of a single package followed by a removal of the same package
should result in a filesystem that doesn't have any added or removed
files.  This is what I mean by a "broken" RPM.

One of the directories is actually

/usr/local/slimserver/usr/local/slimserver

which I'd have to assume is some kind of syntax error in an
installation script.

Anyhow, I blew away all of the following

/usr/local/slimserver (entire directory) 
/etc/sysconfig/slimserver.rpmsave
/etc/slimserver.conf.rpmsave
/var/spool/mail/slimserver
/tmp/slimserver.log

so that

find / -name 'slimserver*' -print

returns nothing.  I then installed from RPM again:

rpm -ivh SlimServer_v6.3.1.noarch.rpm

Interestingly, I still have the EXACT same problem.  The Squeezeboxen
ask for network parameters, and after giving them the DNS server, they
simply reset to the start, they never see the slimserver software.  The
web interface to the slimserver software says there are no players.

No idea what to think, but at this point I've got what I believe is a
totally vanilla starting point, with a clean 6.3.1 on the server and
correct firmware plus factory reset on the boxes, and no dice. 
Something in the downgrade has failed, and failed badly.
