[mythtv-users] starting mythbackend at boot up issues

[Joseph A. Caputo]

Well, I know that on my RedHat 8 system, the device permissions are all reset 
by the PAM module at boot-up.  The file '/etc/security/console.perms" 
controls the initial permissions for devices, as well as which devices get 
their permission/ownership changed to the user currently logged into the 
console.
