[mythtv-users] Remote frontend can't connect

[Darren Hart]

I am having a similar problem, did you get yours to work?  I tried
setting the bind-address, but then /etc/init.d/mysql start failed,
something about the debian-sys-maintainer or something not having access
to mysql at 10.0.0.3 (rather than localhost I suppose).
