Hi all,
Would a patch to add simple username and password authentication to distccd be taken? I was thinking of implementing a CHAP-like challenge response authentication scheme so the password doesn't go over the network in cleartext, and it would make distcc that little bit more secure.
It's useful if you're on an unpredictable source address, as having the "distcc" service open wouldn't be such a big problem anymore.
Shouldn't add much code or protocol complexity. I'd run distcc over SSH
but that's a lot slower.
hmm, maybe your ssh setting are not optimal:
1.- Are you using the last distcc version?
2.- Did you enable ssh or distcc/lzo compression?,
and be sure is 'or' and not both.3.- Are you using the blowfish cipher?
