That is correct. |

mythtv also creates and displays many video files shared with other |

applications. I thought the "video" group was a way to permit that. Is |
| 9 |
there a better way than putting them in the "video" group? |

I agree and withdraw my request for "uucp" group. It is in out of date |
| 23 |
mythtv documentation and the previous ebuild. |

|
| 25 |
Should I check the use flags for flags enabling support for devices |
| 26 |
needing "dialout" group and modify the installed mythtv user rather than |
| 27 |
including group "dialout" in the "acct-user/mythtv" package? |
