Description:   Opened: 2003-12-04 15:16 0000 
The uid for distccd on my system is 1000, and 1004 on a friend's system.  This
means that distccd gets exported via NIS no matter which (sensible) uid
threshold is used.  Unless gentoo is so sOOp3r-l33t that it has more than
one-thousand system user ids, perhaps it should stick to convention and keep
system user ids below some sensible threshold?  For instance under 1000, or
better, under 500?  I remember when 100 was the cut-off, and it wasn't that long
ago.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
distccd uid < 500

I'll change this in the distcc-config (to uid=240).

------- Comment #2 From SpanKY 2003-12-04 15:39:42 0000 ------- 
if you change it to anything lower than 1000 it should go in
gentoo-src/eid_database/{passwd,group}

------- Comment #3 From Paul Komarek 2003-12-04 15:49:41 0000 ------- 
Dang, that's a fast response, even for gentoo!

------- Comment #4 From Lisa Seelye (RETIRED) 2003-12-06 09:31:04 0000 ------- 
fixed in cvs

------- Comment #5 From Martin Gramatke 2004-03-25 14:15:51 0000 ------- 
The latest version distcc-2.13-r1 still installs a user with an id above 1000.

------- Comment #6 From Lisa Seelye (RETIRED) 2004-03-25 14:21:14 0000 ------- 
Remove the distcc user and either run distcc-config --install or re-emerge
distcc.
