[distcc] too many SSH connections

[Phil R Lawrence]

Hello,

When I try to emerge using distcc over SSH, it keeps logging me back on and off the other box.  Can you help me find the source of this problem?  My expectation was that I would stay connected to the other box until the emerge was done.  Here is lots of info...  Thanks! :-)

On the remote box:
I compiled and installed gcc 3.2.3 on the remote box as root

I compiled and installed distcc-2.11.2 on the remote box under a user account.

Here's a snip from /var/log/secure on the remote box:

On the laptop: 
gcc 3.2.2 is currently emerged on my laptop.

I emerged distcc-2.11.1 on my gentoo laptop.

# distcc-config --set-hosts "me@<snipped>:/home/me/opt/bin/distccd localhost"

# /etc/init.d/distccd start

# emerge mplayer
