[mythtv-users] Q about users and priveleges...?

"The MySQL user account you use to connect to the MythTV database (and
whose details appear in mysql.txt) is separate to the Linux user
account you run mythbackend/mythfrontend as."

So, just add a user 'sudo adduser myuser' and then add the mysql.txt file
into the .mythtv folder as well as make sure that user has been added to the
DB (http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Ubuntu-8.10_Source_Install)

*mysql -u root -p
create database mythconverg;
set password for 'myuser'@'%' = password('myuser');
set password for 'myuser'@'localhost' = password('myuser');
flush privileges;*

and that will allow me to continue to run the backend/frontend as my
"regular" user without problem.

Are there reasons for making them the same?

Thanks,
