No. Your myth user on your frontend must be able to access the database on
the backend. 

On the backend:

# netstat -antp|grep :3306

...and check that MySQL is listening on the external IP address and not
127.0.0.1

On the front end:

$ mysql -p -u mythtv -h myth-master-name-or-ip-address mythconverg

Enter the mythconverg database password when prompted. If you don't know
what it is, then on the backend:

# cat /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt

You need to get successfully logged in with the 'mysql' command above.
