Edwin Groothuis 1729b094e7 Maintainer Update: devel/distcc
devel/distcc 2.16 -> 2.18.3
    http://distcc.samba.org/ftp/distcc/distcc-2.18.3.NEWS

    Consists mostly of bug fixes. Only one change in the way distcc
    works. You must specify a network on which connections are
    allowed, connections from all networks will still be admitted
    but connections outside the specified network will be logged
    and dropped.

    The 127.0.0.0/8 network is the default for the port.  All
    existing users and all new users will need to update/add a
    distccd_flags variable in /etc/rc.conf, a template for which
    can be found in the rc.d script.

    Perhaps a new variable, which simply contained the trusted
    network address would be better, like

    distccd_network="192.168.10.2/24"

WARNING: distcc[d] performs NO AUTHENTICATION at all and should
ONLY be used in trusted networks!
NEW in 2.18
Distccd now requires the --allow (-a) argument when running
in daemon mode. This option restricts distcc to a specific
network, by default this port uses 127.0.0.0/8, you should
change this by specifying your own distccd_flags in
/etc/rc.conf, see the script in etc/rc.d/distccd.sh for a
template.
Additionally it is reccomended that you add entries to
/etc/syslog.conf to record all distccd log messages to a file
such as /var/log/distccd.log.
Example syslog.conf entry:
!distccd
*.* /var/log/distccd.log
The daemon runs on port 3632 by default. You can change that
value by calling distccd with the -p parameter, e.g.
`distccd -p 4711'. Do not edit the rc.d script to achieve this
instead override the value of distccd_flags in /etc/rc.conf.
Note that remote daemons currently won't work if they cannot
resolve the reverse DNS of the master machine
