For those who don't know, there are several built in assumptions in this
command.  The first is that you have a user called 'slimp3d' that is
capable of running server.pl and reading mp3's.  The second is that your
slimp3 root is /home/slimp3d/slimp3/server.

Nothing wrong with the above, but if you don't have those two things,
adding this line to your inittab could cause some, er, issues...

HTH,
