A question about step 3. Given that my scenario involves a combination 
FE/BE set-up, and that I do not envision connecting any other remote 
frontends to it, will it really be necessary to change 127.0.0.1 to this 
machine's address on the LAN? If memory serves, under Mythbuntu, that 
field was always set to 127.0.0.1. Thanks.
