Post subject:  R5B7 Documentation question

I installed R5B7 and it went smoth as silk but I do have a couple questions and would like help either finding the documentation or the answers:

1) What is the script to run the remote control setup? When I did the install my monitor cut off the first column and thus I could not see what to enter for the various choices and had to skip it

2) What is the script (and how do I use it) to install MythStreamTV? The wiki said it installs with R5B7 but it never showed up on mine

3) How do I update the system date/time? Till now I used ntpdate ntp-3.vt.edu but on R5B7 I get an error about the ntp socket is used.

4) How do I modify security on the Apache server. I saw the documentation and threads but it does not seem to work for me. Somehow, the mythtv account is being used to control access. I want a different account to be used for access to the website. I tried both the "old" way and the "new" way, but to be honest could not find the .htaccess file to edit for setting security config. My apache.conf file has all the security stuff commented out (or so it seems) yet is still authenticates on the mythtv account.

1) /usr/local/bin/lirc-reconfig.sh

2) MythStreamTV is installed with R5B7. Hit MythWeb's main page to see the link and to set up a stream.

3) I believe that the R5B7 system is running ntpd by default to synch time, and with ntpd running ntpdate can't be used. If ntpd is keeping your system synched, there should be no need to run ntpdate.

4) I'm pretty sure the wiki needs updating as far as adjusting authentication under R5B7. I tried adjusting .htaccess myself with no luck but I can't say I tried very hard. (Remember that any "." files won't be visible if you just do a "ls" in a directory, you'll need to do something like "ls -la" which will show all files) I just ended up used the -all option of /usr/bin/ToggleWebSecurity.sh to lock down everything instead of just MythWeb, which is all I needed. You might also read through that script for some ideas on what to do by hand.

Edited: Didn't realize auth had changed from R5A30.2 to R5B7.

Not sure how to get this working.

This will append the file to include another user.
Code:
htpasswd /etc/apache/basicauth username


This will clear the file and create a user.
Code:
htpasswd -c  /etc/apache/basicauth username


While those commands work, they have no impact on the R5B7 apache server
