Hi - I have a myth FE / BE combo running on Ubuntu that is now showing 
the following errors in the mythbackend.log every second

2008-07-06 14:37:04.292 Connecting to master server: YOU SUCK SECURE 
YOUR DAMNS ERVER OR I COME BACK!!!:0
2008-07-06 14:37:04.293 Connection to master server timed out.

Obviously this is a bit worrying.

I also get the error when trying to save settings via 'setup'

I have confirmed that /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt and 
/usr/share/mythtv/mysql.txt have the right values by testing them from 
the mysql client.

Myth can obviously talk to mysql because I can update the metadata for 
my DVDs using the IMDB script

mysql> select * from videometadata where title like '%sith%' \G
