[Bug 343204] [NEW] Mode of /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt should be 660

[JanCeuleers]

Public bug reported:

My frontend machine runs mythfrontend as user frontend, not as user
mythtv. I believe that this is a supported configuration.

User frontend is a member of group mythtv.

This is however not enough for user frontend to be able to read
/etc/mythtv/mysql.txt, since it has mode 600.

I think that this file should have mode 660 so that members of group
mythtv are able to access it.

Something (I don't know what) periodically resets the mode of this file
to 600, causing my frontend no longer to be able to access the database.
