This package also includes a BSD-style rc.d script to start slim;
you will need to make /etc/rc.d/rc.slim executable:
chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.slim

Also, you will need to add something like this to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.slim ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.slim start
fi

+Note that your system should use runlevel 3 for this to work.
+I (rworkman) did a bit of tinkering to try and make slim work properly
+from runlevel 4 (starting it from rc.4) a few versions ago, but I was
+not successful, and it wasn't worth the effort to continue.

+Finally, if you have PAM installed and wish to build slim with support
+for it, have a look inside the build script for instructions; otherwise,
+it will work as is.
