[mythtv-users] Unable to set initgroups() with gid

[Mike Schommer]

I am getting the following error when tryng to start mythbackend

$ /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start
Starting MythTV server: mythbackendstart-stop-daemon: Unable to set 
initgroups() with gid 117 (Operation not permitted)

I have a mythtv user with id 117 and it's group is mythtv with gid 117. I 
installed on Ubuntu from the mythtv package repository at 

deb http://dijkstra.csh.rit.edu/~mdz/debian unstable mythtv

The frontend is ready to go, but it can't connect to the backend server - 
because I can't start it up due to the error above.

When I try running the script as root, I get this error.

Starting MythTV server: mythbackendSession management error: Authentication 
Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are 
supported and host-based authentication failed

Now, when I run mythbackend as user mythtv, it runs fine. How can I get the 
backend running as a daemon with the script in /etc/init.d?
