Summary: SlimServer execute with the user argument creates log and conf with incorrect and unusable 
privileges.

The SlimServer is unusable after a new install of the SlimServer using the user argument.  This is 
because the log and configuration files are created and privileged based on the user that launched the 
SlimServer.

I have a code fix to address the configuration file.  The code change diffs are listed in the bug and the 
entire source file changes can be downloaded from the bug link.  My proposed code change is to 
reorder the functionality in the "daemonize" function in "slimserver.pl" file.

Please contact me for any follow up, if it is needed.


Note: this bug occurs in SlimServer versions 5.4.0, 5.4.1, 6.0b1, and 6.0b2 

LAN hardware involved
---------------------
Qube3 (slimserver)
  - patched with all the latest updates
  - used perl 5.4.1 or 5.4.6 
Netgear 10/100 switch
Netgear WGT624 gateway
Zoom cable modem
DTA-310 (packet8 VoIP) device latest firmware v1034
Macs & PCs on and off network
slimp3 (powered down every night and other times when it is not being used)
Comcast ISP


Steps to reproduce
------------------
-Install new SlimServer software
-Run SlimServer with user argument set to a user different then the one executing
 ie
 ./slimserver.pl --user slimp3 --cachedir ./ServerFiles 
   	  	--logfile ./ServerFiles/slimserver.log --prefsfile ./ServerFiles/slimserver.conf --daemon
-Attempt to configure the SlimServer through the web interface
-Quit SlimServer
-Rerun SlimServer with user argument set to a user different then the one executing
* Note the server changes where not saved.  Also inspect the newly created log and conf file privileges.  
The files are only writable by the launching user.

Workaround
----------
Simply chown the log and conf to the user used in the --user argument.
