Yes, I checked the file during the install to make sure the values
were set correctly.  They seemed OK, so I did not edit it.  Currently
I have this in the file:

> cat /usr/local/share/mythtv/mysql.txt|grep -v ^#
DBHostName=localhost
DBUserName=mythtv
DBPassword=mythtv
DBName=mythtvconverg

Is this where I can tell mythtv my mysql.sock is in /tmp?  If so what
is the variable name I should use?  DBSocket perhaps?
