[mythtv-users] not a good sign?

[David Whyte]

I noticed I was having this problem tonight too, then realised I had
tried to start as the user 'myth' and not as 'root'.  When I do an ls
in the 'recordings' dir, the permissions are set to 755 for the
directory itself and 644 for the files it contains.  All are owned by
root.root.

Can I simply chown the whole myth directory to myth.myth and
everything will work fine?   I don't want to run as root (as I have
heard this is bad m'kay) but nor do I want to screw anything up at
this stage.

Cheers,
Dave
