Hi Bill

Yes I am running this on the backend. And I have never setup and 
$MYTHCONFDIR or any stratup script. This was a Mythbuntu install. But 
the servers original incarceration was Unbuntu with a myth install.

Does look like there are two:-

paul at MicroServer:~$  diff ~mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml ~/.mythtv/config.xml
21c21
<   <LocalHostName></LocalHostName>
---
 >   <LocalHostName>server</LocalHostName>

paul at MicroServer:~$ ls -ld {~mythtv,~}/.mythtv/config.xml
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 599 Sep 10 15:21 /home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml
-rw-rw-r-- 1 paul   paul   605 Dec 21 16:50 /home/paul/.mythtv/config.xml
