My mythbackend is running as root also. I thought I followed Jarod's  
guide to the letter, but it's possible I missed a $ and ran a command  
at a # prompt.

However, I looked through the /etc/init.d/mythbackend script that  
fires up mythbackend automatically at startup, and found the  
following lines in the start clause of the script:

#  cd $MYTHTV_HOME && daemon --user mythtv $binary $OPTIONS
   cd $MYTHTV_HOME && daemon $binary $OPTIONS

I'm assuming that the first one explicitly specifies the user mythtv  
to run mythbackend, but it's commented out. The second one doesn't  
specify a user, so it runs as root. Should I comment out the second  
line and un-comment the first? Why is it like this in the default  
install anyhow? I hate changing things around if I don't understand  
them first.
