<div><br></div></div>No. You don't have to have a user specifically for it, but lots of people do it and most pre-built distributions with mythtv come with its own mythtv user.</div><div>Just make sure the user that runs mythbackend has appropriate permissions for everything is needs access to like capture cards and file systems and then make sure the user that's running the frontend has appropriate access to play back the media you want to see.</div>

<br></blockquote></div><br>Thanks Brad, I'm doing a fresh install on Ubuntu and did not compile as the Mythtv user I did it as my regular user so I'm wondering what kind of problems that is going to create? <br><br>
Like when creating the mysql.txt in .mythtv it wants a password - well I don't want to put in the password of the user I installed Myth with as that would give access to root if comprimised...<br><br>Since I've installed as my "regular" user (not sure what to call it) when I start mythbackend won't that user need access to the DB? so that kind of creates a problem,,, yes/no?<br>
