Can you provide an example of the symlink?  Say I have files 
/home/myth/.lircrc and /home/myth/.mythtv/lircrc , how are they linked 
together?  The man page doesn't have an example of usage.  What about 
permissions?  I would guess that user myth and mythtv would need to be 
able to read the files. 

Is the symlink done as $ ln -s .mythtv/lircrc .lircrc  ?  I pulled that 
from http://www.wilsonet.com/mythtv/tips.php

Right now lirc.conf has -rw-r--r-- and
          lircrc    has -rw-rw-r-- 

The part that confuses me is (besides everything) is how does lircd even 
know about these files.  Also how does myth know where to look for these 
files?  Is there a setup file for either myth or lircd that needs to be run?

Thanks for your help so far!
