Alright, it is not fixed. I can log into backend mysql from frontend as
mythtv and as my user. Yet, frontend gives me:

2013-09-29 10:55:23.964856 E  MythSocket(7ff73000ae50:-1): Failed to
connect to (192.168.2.6:6543) Operation on socket is not supported
2013-09-29 10:55:23.964888 E  RemoteFile::openSocket(control socket):
Could not connect to server 192.168.2.6:6543

Scratching my head. I attached a monitor to my headless BE and ran
mythfrontend - success ...
Why local FE can connect and remote FE cannot?
