(log your work here)* '''India'''** network connection went down again around 2pm, could not complete distcc setup --- [[User:Tiago|Tiago]]** Ran through tutorial on Australia and it seemed good. I managed to compile Apache --- [[User:Tiago|Tiago]] *'''Germany'''** distccd user created, hosts file setup, tested and working on Thu 29 Jan, 2009 --- [[User:Arbraini|ABraini]] *'''Australia'''** distccd is running under distcc account*** hosts file setting done*** user "distcc" created for running distccd. --- [[User:dmoon4|Daeseon Moon]] *'''Hong Kong'''** distcc user created, hosts file setup done *'''Ireland'''** distcc user created, hosts file setup done *'''India'''** distcc user created** hosts file modified *'''Liberia'''** distcc user created** hosts file modified *'''China'''** distcc user created** hosts file modified

On the server machine Create a new user the daemon will run under without a home dir or workgroup<pre>$ adduser distcc daemon(distccd) needs to be started. At prompt as root type "distccd –-daemon –-user YOURUSERNAME –N -allow 142.204.133.0M </24"pre>

Now we need to setup the IPTABLES to allow connections to the distcc daemon. Before doing anything make a backup file of the original iptables file located in /etc/sysconfig/iptables. To do this we simply type “cp <pre>$ cp /etc/sysconfig/iptables [backupfile name]“. To allow connections type “iptables $ iptables -I INPUT 7 -i eth0 -p tcp -s 142.204.133.0/24 –dport --dport 3632 -j ACCEPT”ACCEPT$ service iptables save </pre> *Important Note: It seems the -I INPUT 7 argument is confusing a lot of people. -I INPUT 7 was used in Daeson's case for the machine he was working on at the time, however this may not be the same for all machines. In Daeson's case there was a REJECT line in the INPUT CHAIN at line 8. So in order for us to get our port open we need to insert ie. -I into the INPUT CHAIN at line 7 before the REJECT line. On Machines with an INPUT CHAIN shorter then 7 lines this will cause an error. On machines without a REJECT line a simple "-A" appened aurgument can take the place of "-I INPUT 7". To apply type “service iptables save” On a machine with a REJECT INPUT on a line before 8 you simply need to change the number to one smaller as long as it is before the REJECT line. ** I'm not sure if we need to do this command, because if the file "HOSTS" at /etc/distcc/ is configured to have all the hosts name - distcc seems to distribute all compilation throughout the hosts.

On the client machine the server names need to be added to the host environment variable DISTCC_HOSTS. Ex: “export DISTCC_HOSTS=’ireland australia’”hosts listed in the file located at <pre>/etc/distcc/hosts</pre>
