[mythtv-users] mythbackend as normal user

[Josu Lazkano]

Hello again, I investigate a little bit more, on
/etc/init.d/mythtv-backend is this line:

USER=mythtv

I use to run mythtv-setup and mythfronted as normal user ("lazkano" in
this case), is neccesary to run mythbackend as "mythtv" user?

Thanks and regards.
