It's a long time ago and I can't remember any problems or difficulties with distccmon. IIRC I run it on the client and I used the gui as well as the text version. I don't remember wich UID I used for distccmon. Maybe it is necessary to run it as user portage. I would like to test it, but I don't have a second linux host that I could use for a test. Only some xubuntu qemu VMs that are installed on my gentoo box. And I don't know if these are working with distcc and a gentoo host without problems. And as I'm down with a ugly cold, I don't have enough power to build up a test environment with some old hardware or struggle with bitchy VMs. -- Regards wabe
