I'm still having no luck tracking this problem down.  Here's what I have to
report.

I verified that /home/huff/.mythtv/config.xml contained exactly the same
text as /home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml and /etc/mythtv/config.xml.
(The backend is launched with --user mythtv and mythwelcome is launched by
user huff.)
The contents of config.xml are in this pastebin link
<https://pastebin.com/hHCynDxg>.

With the backend running from /etc/init/mythtv-backend.conf, and
mythwelcome invoked by user huff, I ran 'sudo lsof -i -n -P|egrep myth' and
got:

Note that port 6543 isn't reported anywhere.  Then I tried 'sudo netstat
-alnp | grep 6543' and got no lines back at all.

The contents of the backend log are in this pastebin link
<https://pastebin.com/TSsG7Cqz>.
The contents of the mythwelcome log are in this pastebin link
<https://pastebin.com/8Fr41dbG>.
>From a previous exchange on this issue, the mysql query and results are in this
pastebin link <https://pastebin.com/9FZLjdBj>.  (Note that penguin is the
master backend/frontend, while Antec, htc, and pundit are FE only systems.)

I'm stumped what changed/why the frontend no longer connects to the backend.
