[mythtv-users] Is the mythtv user supposed to have a password and shell?

Go back to a thread about running mythtv-setup over ssh as the mythtv user,
the recommended command line was:

ssh -l mythtv -Y backendserver

Only problem is that it asks for the mythtv user's password but Mythbuntu
doesn't set it up with one.

So what's the proper way around this? Or if I just VNC into the backend how
do I properly run mythtv-setup as the myth user? I always seem to stumble
here especially as running mythtv-setup is not something you need to do
often.

Thanks.
