It is only useful for port forwarding, as far as I know, and that is not a configuration that is useful for many people. autossh can restart an ssh session if it collapses, which is good for port forwarding. However, what distcc needs is to be able to repeatedly run remote commands without redoing the SSH setup. I don't think there is a good way to do that, but multi-session support in OpenSSH might help in the future. Look through the distcc list archives for more. -- Martin
