Bug 175508 – /etc/init.d/distccd should use --exec and not --startas

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Xake 2007-04-21 22:38:24 UTC]

The current initscript for distccd is not compatible with baselayout-2 and fails to start. A simple change from --startas to --exec in the script seems to work for me.

Ping?
Still an issue for me...

Please provide emerge --info output as well as any error messages.

[Comment 3 Xake 2007-07-29 14:26:32 UTC]

This is strange. As I was going to reproduce to get the errormessage (I have had this problem on at least 3 diffrent machines) it just works on them. Could be related to baselayout-2.0.0_beta4.
Closes as WORKSFORME.

On a side not: can you please add the diff to the init script?
It will remove the following message during boot:
 * Starting distccd ...
distccd[13380] (dcc_should_be_inetd) stdin is a tty; assuming --daemon mode
