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 lisa@gentoo.org 2003-12-04 15:35:05 0000 I'll change this in the distcc-config (to uid=240). vapier@gentoo.org 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} komarek.paul@gmail.com 2003-12-04 15:49:41 0000 Dang, that's a fast response, even for gentoo! lisa@gentoo.org 2003-12-06 09:31:04 0000 fixed in cvs xmit@gmx.de 2004-03-25 14:15:51 0000 The latest version distcc-2.13-r1 still installs a user with an id above 1000. lisa@gentoo.org 2004-03-25 14:21:14 0000 Remove the distcc user and either run distcc-config --install or re-emerge distcc.
