Thanks for the idea Nick, but they're idendical:

DBHostName=192.168.0.2
DBUserName=mythtv
DBPassword=mythtv
DBName=mythconverg
DBType=QMYSQL3

# Set the following if you want to use something other than the
# machine's real hostname for identifying settings in the database.
# This is useful if your hostname changes often, as otherwise
# you'll need to reconfigure mythtv (or futz with the DB) every time.
# TWO HOSTS MUST NOT USE THE SAME VALUE
#
# LocalHostName=mythbox

# If you want your frontend to be able to wake your MySQL server
# using WakeOnLan, have a look at the following settings:
#
# Set the time the frontend waits (in seconds) between reconnect tries.
# This should be the rough time your MySQL server needs for startup
#WOLsqlReconnectWaitTime=0
#
#
# This is the amount of retries to wake the MySQL server until the frontend
# gives up
#WOLsqlConnectRetry=5
#
#
# This is the command executed to wake your MySQL server.
#WOLsqlCommand=echo 'WOLsqlServerCommand not set'


The
# LocalHostName=mythbox
line has been un-hashed out in the past, but I re-hashed it when I was 
fixing things.

I seem to have got two 'roots' now though (if that's the corect 
terminoligy). For example, if I log into Ubuntu using user 'mythtv', 
pass 'mythtv', then whenever I use 'sudo' in the terminal, the password 
I need is 'mythtv'. When I log into my normal user and use sudo, the 
password I need is my usual password. This is probably normal but 
thought I should mention it just in case it points out what's going on.

Cheers
Damian
