That did it!  The website doesn't put things the same way that you did
right there.  I was using the mysql password for the "identified by"
section.  That was causing a mismatch the whole time: "mythtv !=
somethingRandomized"

So that command is allowing me to specify a password that frontends use
to connect?  Or is that the actual mysql password that was generated
when it was installed (to be modified later)?

I'm new to this whole mysql thing...
