This is indeed quite a problem. Especially if updating e.g. from 6.3 to
6.5.
It should not just be assumed that we can adjust all our user/group and
permission settings to fit whatever slimserver needs.
However, for now the solution for me was the one mentioned here--run
slimserver with --group=

it seems that slimserver is unable to use its group privileges.
i start slimserver with an init script, wherein i declare:
--user=slimserver --group=slimserver
in /etc/group i have:
muzak:x:101:slimserver
and in /etc/passwd i have:
slimserver:x:999:999::/usr/local/slimserver:/usr/sbin/nologi
