I think the only problem with creating subdirectories is that you would not be able to monitor jobs run by a different UID, but that could be fixed. This might not fully fix it though. If root's umask causs /tmp/distcc to be created mode 0700 then the compile would still fail. But perhaps it is easier to fix. > Is there a better solution to solve this problem?
