On my system (from /etc/passwd):

slimserver:x:110:65534:SlimServer,,,:/usr/share/slimserver:/bin/false

The numeric ID of the slimserver user is 110, and the default group is
65534 (nogroup).

You would need to create a new group (on Debian: "groupadd slimserver"
would do it), then assign the slimserver user to the slimserver group
(again, on debian: "usermod -g slimserver slimserver" would do it).

That said, my example shows I don't do that.

I give everyone read privs (and exec on directories).  Groups get
confusing very quickly and maintaining files in the group can be
tricky, especially when using SMB or something to copy files over.
