[mythtv-users] connection timeout (frontend won't talk to backend on same system)

[Chris McCuller]

I finally was able to get it working by starting mythbackend up as a 
daemon OR as root and starting frontend as the mythtv user. Don't know 
why it wasn't working otherwise, but it works great now.

Thanks!
