A quick look at the source finds the following at Slim/Utils/Prefs.pm line 982:
$canWrite = (-e prefsFile() && -w prefsFile()) || (-w
preferencesPath());
When running with --prefsfile /etc/slimserver/slimserver.pref,
prefsFile() is '/etc/slimserver/slimserver.pref', but
preferencesPath() is '/root'. This means that the code checks to see
if /etc/slimserver/slimserver.pref exists, and if it doesn't exist it
checks to see if it can write to /root, which it can't and thus the
error-message is printed.
I have to run now, but it should be an easy fix for someone who knows
what preferencesPath() is supposed to be.
