I just used the example from the sudoers file since I'm relatively new to Linux and sudo (I'm also on a disconnected network (dial-up), so my security concerns are lowered. You're right that I don't think you need to have mythtv be able to run *everything*. I don't know which of the myth programs apart from mythfrontend you would need access to though (mythtv, mythtvosd, mythepg, etc.)? I don't know sudo that well, does anyone know if you can just specify something like "myth*" for the programs?
Doug,
I've read several comments about realtime and selinux. When I installed FC3, I disabled selinux (per Jarod's instructions). Should that matter? Or is it just a factor of FC3 that prevents me from doing the "chmod u+s mythfrontend" solution?
I'm open to other ideas since one of the issues I have is with mythvideo. The jpg cover art files that are downloaded end up saved as "root root" and not "mythtv mythtv". This only happened after I started using sudo (I usually go check the cover art and generally update it with the artwork on amazon (imdb has more movie posters and I prefer the dvd covers, just personal preference)). Now I have to change the owner/group and then copy over the new artwork.
Thanks
phlepper
