[distcc] distccd 2.12 won't start on Linux

[Dimitri Papadopoulos-Orfanos]

Hi,

I get the following error message when attempting to start distccd:

# /etc/init.d/distccd start
distccd[18140] (dcc_discard_root) ERROR: setgid(99) failed: Operation 
not permitted
distccd[18140] (dcc_exit) exit: code 112; self: 0.000000 user 0.000000 
sys; children: 0.000000 user 0.000000 sys

I was able to work around that by reverting src/setuid.c from 1.5 to 1.4 
- back to its distcc-2.11.2 status. Maybe this Mac OS X fix should be 
reverted?

This is the command line launching distccd:
	daemon /usr/local/bin/distccd --user nobody --daemon
which probably expands into:
	nice initlog -c "/usr/local/bin/distccd --user nobody --daemon"
