There are two distinct user names: the Linux one, which is 'rivendell' by default; and the MySQL user name, which by default is 'rduser'.

'rivendell' is typically set up as a 'system' user; that is, it has no login shell so you can't actually log in as, or su to, 'rivendell'. This user should own /var/snd and all that is in it, and should be a member of the 'audio' group and any other groups you may want it to belong to.

The MySQL 'rduser' by default has the password 'letmein'; it should have unlimited rights to the 'Rivendell' database.

Both user names are defined in /etc/rd.conf.

Well, its a totally new machine, a sort of a sandbox, so the hostname is

as the original.   Didn't help though.

But, I did figure out that the null query clause screwing up the queries
was the RDUser name.  For some reason the new rig isn't picking up the
proper rd-user ID from my environment, or wherever its supposed to come
from, so that all queries were running as if from an unprivileged user.
Even though I do have the right credentials to run the RD tools, I don't
have privs to do certain queries in mysql.

Is there documentation anywhere discussing how the linux user's ID maps
to rivendell user roles?  I still don't have it quite right.

Some additional information, when I try to run the query from a

Have you by any chance changed the host name? I've occasionally had that
cause problems.
