Distcc is too 'chatty'

Hi there,

I was wondering if someone knows how to either make distcc less 'chatty' (it logs an awefull lot of stuff to /var/log/syslog) or to make it log to another file (/var/log/distcc?) or, both

.

I have not set any verbosity stuff, just the plain distcc as it is being installed, and can nowhere find any place to shut it up. Maybe in /etc/conf.d/distccd? But then, what options?

Any pointers would be welcome... Thanks,

Hertog

[edit]
Some versionnumbers might be nice:
sys-devel/distcc-1.2
ACCEPT-KEYWORDS="~X86"
Using sysklogd

Change /etc/conf.d/distccd:

# set this option to run distccd with extra parameters
DISTCCD_OPTS="--nice 20 --log-file=/dev/null"

You can also change /dev/null by another file/location.

Ah, thanks, that is close to what I was looking for.

Mind tho... I send al the output to /var/log/distccd but when you do that you have to make sure that the user distcc has write access to that file...

Hmm, too bad it doesn't log via syslog...
