Is that really true? It sounds strange. For many projects you can do this % make % sudo make install so that only the installation is done as root. > I get the following error message: > > ERROR: mkdir /root/.distcc failed: Permission denied > > I figure this is because distccd runs as user nobody (I explicitly told it to > do so). > > Q1: what user should distccd be run as ideally?
