<p>Hi Bill!<br>

user barry (not root) type:
ln -s /etc/mythtv/config.xml ~/.mythtv/config.xml
It doesn't hurt anything, as long as the data in the file is the
same (which you proved it wasn't.)
The links just make life easier because there's only one file
with data and two others pointing to it.</pre>

<p>OK: where I’m starting:</p>
<p>BE2 (old) Ethernet unplugged (for ‘safety’)</p>
<p>BE3 (one we’re working on) plugged into the network.</p>
<p>BE3 has been powered off overnight</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Step 1: rm <i>/home/barry/</i>.mythtv/config.xml</p>
<p>Step 2: ln -s /etc/mythtv/config.xml
~/.mythtv/config.xml</p>
<p>Did some testing (I’m trying to learn as I go!) and
the link is there and works ==> ls lists in light
blue, which IIRC means ‘link’ (I had a chart of the
colours some place!).</p>
<p>At this point config.xml is stating
<Host>localhost</Host> and the rest looks
to be correct also.</p>
<p>And any changes to the configuration should be made
to /etc/mythtv/config.xml, and they’re be ‘sent’ to
the ones in the hidden directories:</p>
<p>[Master] /etc/mythtv.config.xml (ls displays as
white)</p>
<p>[Link] /home/barry/.mythtv.config.xml (ls displays as
light blue)</p>
<p>[Link] /home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml (ls displays
as light blue)</p>
