[mythtv] Various & Sundry MythTV Notes

[Joseph A. Caputo]

I had this problem until I added the mythbackend logfile to my logrotate 
configuration.  See attached file "/etc/logrotate.d/mythtv"

Another general note, for anyone starting up mythbackend in an init script, if 
you are running mythbackend as any user but root, be sure to update 
/etc/security/console.perms to grant permission to that user for the V4L 
devices so that the user does not need to be logged in to get access to the 
device.
