Other Random notes
- The root password is blank. You will not be able to remotely access this account until the password is set.
- The mythtv account is locked, reset the password if you wish login with this account.
- The mythtv account has full sudo privileges.
- All access from public ip address are blocked. Edit /etc/hosts.deny /etc/hosts.allow to change this.
- Mythfilldatabase will automaticlly run when mythbackend is started. If the last attempt was successful then it will skip this step and mythfilldatabase will run normally.
- To keep a host from showing up in the network map, add it to:
/data/srv/hobbit/server/ext/ignoreclient.py
- remove "func" from bb-hosts to stop hobbit from running a func check on it
- if /tmp/nomfe is present then mythfrontend will not restart
- if /tmp/debug is present then mythfrontend and mythbackend will run with gdb. Debug packages will need to be installed for this to be useful
- create_master.sh will copy the contents of the cdrive to a "Gold" image for network/diskless installation. Dhcp server must be enabled for netboot to work, please turn off any other dhcp servers on your network.
- On the misc screen the nfsmap section will accept entries pointing to different servers. For instance 192.168.1.5:nfsmap will pull the nfsmap file from the ip 192.168.1.5 (hostnames may also be used)
- adding pkg names to /etc/pkgname.blacklist will stop MythVantage from autoinstalling a package.
