Confusion here? The 'database user' mysql requires credentials for has *nothing*
to do with the 'login user' who runs the script.
It is perfectly acceptable to run the myth programs from any login providing
valid credentials for the mythtv database user are supplied in the appropriate
mysql.txt/config.xml files.
(Assuming that the logged in user has the correct permissions to access the
required directories and files, of course.)
