I do not know; I can only confirm that these things are not called directly
from Slash.  Try running, instead:

	/usr/local/slash/sbin/slashd VIRTUAL_USER_NAME

See if that works.  If so, then I imagine the problem is somewhere in the
/etc/init.d/slash script, but I don't know what that problem would be.
