I stand corrected.

I can now only assume that those scripts are part of a standard Fedora 
16 install and are provided by Fedora/RedHat.

Is it true then, that in the past, the /etc/rc.d/init.d/mythbackend 
script on a Fedora 14 install (for example) did NOT come from the Mythtv 
repos?

(I note that I have never used atrpms or rpmfusion as repo sources for 
the mythtv suite).

I makes sense that RedHat might do that, and more thanks to them.

I will try to find some time and create a clean F16 install as a virtual 
guest and examine the entrails for auguries of the past!

If true then the 'fix' is to inserted elsewhere.
