I have been running and upgrading SlimServer from the ports collection on FreeBSD for a couple years now and have to tell you that I've been delighted with it. The port will make sure that all your dependencies are taken care of and, of specific importance to the problem you're having, will create a slimserver user and /usr/local/etc/rc.d/slimserver script for you that will take care of the permissions issue. I heartily endorse using the port, though I should disclaim that I have upgraded my FreeBSD and so have only run Slimserver 6.5 on FreeBSD 6.1 Release and can't attest to it on earlier versions. I did run the Slimserver port on FreeBSD 5.4 early on though and again have not had any substantial difficulty from then on. -- thing-fish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ thing-fish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5288 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28352 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
