[mythtv-users] Gentoo box resets /var/run/mythtv/.mythtv/mysql.txt on boot

[Niklas Brunlid]

I'm building a big nice hidden backend running on Gentoo. Installed ivtv  
and mythtv 0.17 just fine, and after editing mysql.txt (present in five  
directories) and running mythsetup it connected fine and appeared as a  
slave backend to my now-master, soon-to-be-slave backend/frontend.

But when I reboot, mythbackend uses /var/run/mythtv/.mythtv/mysql.txt,  
which is _always_ set to the default values, no matter if I edit it or  
delete it. Now, the server will of course not be rebooted that often, but  
I really wouldn't like to have my master backend not start up properly  
after a power outage... =)

/etc/init.d/mythbackend was added to "default" runlevels after compilation  
had finished.

In /etc/conf.d/mythbackend, I have:
  MYTH_USER=root
  MYTH_PID=/var/run/mythtv/mythbackend.pid

Running from commandline works fine, just can't start the service unless I  
manually correct /var/run/mythtv/.mythtv/mysql.txt first.
