Ah, right. I tried what you said with that ..

damian at MythBox:~$ sudo bash
Password:
root at MythBox:~# /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend stop
Stopping MythTV server: mythbackend No /usr/bin/mythbackend found 
running; none killed.
.
root at MythBox:~# /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start
Starting MythTV server: mythbackendSession management error: 
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols 
specified are supported and host-based authentication failed
.
root at MythBox:~#

I guess I've broken whatever backend was running as I'm sure it was 
loading before.

No output for the first two and the bind address for the last one:

damian at MythBox:~$ netstat -an | grep 3306
damian at MythBox:~$ ps auxww | grep mysqld | grep -v grep
damian at MythBox:~$ grep -i bind-address /etc/mysql/my.cnf
#  bind-address         = 127.0.0.1
damian at MythBox:~$

Does this offer any clues?
I really appreciate the help!
