Hi, my name is Nate Homier and I am having trouble getting the Mythtv
backend to start. I installed it via the Debian apt-get as decscribed at mythtv using the precompiled Debian package. Everything works great except can't start backend. I don't know what the error message means or how to deal with it. Any help would be great. Thank you.

Debian 3.1r0
pcHDTV 3000
Intel 865PERL
Geforce 6600GT with Nvidia binary
Audigy 2 ZS

error message is below: Note I did this as root.

debian:/home/usr# /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start
Starting MythTV server: mythbackendSession management error:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols
specified are supported and host-based authentication failed


Try posting the relevant portion of the mythbackend.log from /var/log/mythtv or just run the mythbackend executable in a terminal window. I've never seen that kind of message from a mythtv backend so it makes me wonder what is throwing the error, Debian or Myth.

It's Debian. I've had that problem every time I've tried Myth on Debian.

Here's a test: SSH in from a different machine, and try to start mythbackend. That one used to work for me, for whatever reason.

My solution to the problem (NO promises!) was to edit /etc/hosts, and remove "localhost.localdomain" - the BindAddress specified by MySQL seems to RDNS to localhost.localdomain, so authentication fails (because you try to connect to localhost, but only localhost.localdomain is allowed). It fixed it for me, ugly as it may be.
