<div>Go back to a thread about running mythtv-setup over ssh
as the mythtv user, the recommended command line was:<br>
<br>
ssh -l <span class="">mythtv</span> -Y backendserver<br>
<br>
</div>
Only problem is that it asks for the mythtv user's password
but Mythbuntu doesn't set it up with one.<br>
<br>
</div>
So what's the proper way around this? Or if I just VNC into
the backend how do I properly run mythtv-setup as the myth
user? I always seem to stumble here especially as running
mythtv-setup is not something you need to do often.<br>
<br>
</div>
Thanks.<br>

The mythtv user in mythbunti is only for running the backend It is a
"system" user id and not designed for logon.<br>
<br>
You should run mythtv-setup as you normal user logon. Also you
should run mythfrontend as your normal user logon. Preferably use
the same user id for these every time. If you like you can set up a
special user for mythtv-setup and mythfrontend, but then always use
that user id.<br>
