Hi, I am new to distcc but I must say that it looks really promising. Eager to get started I tried to start the distccd on a few machines running windows xp and windows 7 and cygwin. On my own laptop it went well, but on the other machines (one xp and one win7) the result was this:
bash-3.2# distccd --daemon --allow 1.2.3.4/24 distccd[4596] (dcc_preferred_user) Warning: no such user as "distcc" distccd[4596] (dcc_discard_root) ERROR: setgid(65534) failed: Invalid argument distccd[4596] (dcc_exit) exit: code 112; self: 0.000000 user 0.000000 sys; children: 0.000000 user 0.000000 sys Trying to set the user manually gets me a tiny step forward: bash-3.2# distccd --daemon --allow 1.2.3.4/24 --user apa distccd[4996] (dcc_discard_root) CRITICAL! still have root privileges after trying to discard them! distccd[4996] (dcc_exit) exit: code 112; self: 0.000000 user 0.000000 sys; children: 0.000000 user 0.000000 sys The version information: bash-3.2# distccd --version distccd 2.18.3 i686-pc-cygwin (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) built Apr 25 2005 11:10:45 Copyright (C) 2002, 2003, 2004 by Martin Pool.

I have tried to search for solutions on the web but to no avail - any clues would be greatly appreciated! /Magnus __ distcc mailing list http://distcc.samba.org/ To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/distcc
