Description

During install, added user and gave password. That does not work if one attemps to ssh in from a remote machine. Re-doing the password on the .07 box as root then allowed the log in. Attempting su - mythtv also failed until assigning the password as root.

There is a post (have look for it again) that shows how to disallow a remote mythtv user access with the correct entries in the sshd_config file. The password change opens the remote access but without it one can not do the su - mythtv. I think this was an important and major safety item in the later KnoppMyth releases.
