I have not experienced this.  The only time MythTV does this on my
system is upon entry into the Video Manager.  If that is the case, use
the Parental Controls that come with MythVideo and set a
password...then nobody but you can enter the Video Manager.

Also, I submitted a patch with
<http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/3973> that will make the 4 levels
of Parental Control in MythVideo independantly password controlled,
and thus more useful, so you don't have to rely on the filesystem to
enforce your controls.  If you're not into building your own, this may
not be useful until it sees the light of day, tho.
