File README.non-root of Package mythtv
MythTV Backend as non-root user =============================== To run mythbackend as a non-root user it is possible do change the values of MYTHBBACKEND_USERID and MYTHBACKEND_GROUPID to other values. For example user mythbackend and group video. Especially video is a good choice for the group because this grants access to the TV device. For a new installation it is easiest to configure the backend as root. If you have a working backend, the configuration files (.mythtv and optionally .xmltv and .lirc) should be moved to the mythbackend users home. Do not forget to change the owner of these directories and its contents. Now change the variables in /etc/sysconfig/mythbackend and restart the backend.
