database, it's using the mysql.lock file.  The MYTHTV_HOME directory
is set to /var/lib/mythtv in the init script :

: ${MYTHTV_HOME=3D/var/lib/mythtv}

So I've put the file /var/lib/mythtv/mysql.txt and
/var/lib/mythtv/.mythtv/mysql.txt and nothing happened (that's all
stuff I've tried before writing the first e-mail.

At least when we lunch with the "-v all" options, I woud expect
mythbackend to print the location of the mysql.txt file.

Seems that all the post I've seen, all the documentation I read point
to the home directory or the /usr/local/share/mythtv/mysql.txt, which
I also put /usr/share/mythtv/mysql.txt because my install is not SVN,
but the one from ATRPMS.

Root is the user being used when starting with "service mythbackend
start" right?  Or maybe when service is used, the profile are not
loaded?  Is there anybody in this forum running a slave that's working
with the "service mythbackend start" script?

I'll check the source tonight to see what's going on, which env it
looks for and see if I can find out something.  Most of the post I've
seen don't include their resolution or maybe gave up.
