Hello,
    I have a remote backend running on ubuntu 7.10.  I have the
mythtv-backend service set to start on boot, but it never gets started
so I have to manually sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend anytime the
computer is rebooted, and it connects fine.  I just took a look at the
logs and it appears that the backend is starting at boot but failing
to connect to the database on the master.  I have the right hostname
and mysql password in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt.   Any suggestions?  Here
is what my log looks like:
