When you click "This server is the master backend", it copies your
machine name to the master server name. It gets that machine name
from $HOME/.mythtv/config.xml, or if that says
"my-unique-identifier-goes-here" it gets it from /etc/hostname. So
if you need a different master server name, change it in one of
those places, then select "This server is the master backend"
again.<br>

<p>Thanks that worked, presumably a frontend had written to
$HOME/.mythtv/config.xml,</p>
