Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-02-16 00:40:01 UTC 
should use /var/run/ ;)
Comment 1 Zach Welch (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-02-17 15:37:36 UTC 
Fixed with distcc-1.1-r9. Thanks.

I'm confused.  This is something I mention in #15048.  How is the user "nobody" supposed to be able to write the pid file in /var/run?  Unless the privileges get dropped after the pid file is written?  Or the file is written after the process is started as nobody and control is returned back to the init script?  In either case, this also solves 15048 (which was the main reason to make distccd run as distccd and not nobody).
Comment 3 Zach Welch (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-02-17 18:15:22 UTC 
erm.. Okay, so I broke things with -r9... I'm fixing things in -r10
and package.mask'ing distcc-1.1-r9 in the meantime

Sorry for the confusion.

Okay, try the latest -r10 that's out now.  and sorry for that last one. :/
