hrrm.. or if it failed permissions somehow..

Can you use su or sudo to start it without the root uid?

The debian mechanism wraps it in a start-stop-daemon call which does
that. Since you are starting from the prompt, maybe something like:

# su -s /bin/sh slimserv

(to get around any forcing of /bin/false or whatever as shell).

That should be a 'real' slimserv-user shell and make Perl forget about
all the suid-perl restrictions.  (I thought FreeBSD didnt need those,
tho...)
