You should be able to change the SLIMUSER in /etc/init.d/slimserver
from "$NAME" to your username.  However you will need to fix all the
permissions for the various files to be owned by you.

You don't want to change the NAME variable.

I think this set of chowns will work:

rm /var/run/slimserver.pid
chown -R millwood /etc/slimserver /var/log/slimserver
/var/cache/slimserver
