 Hmmz, I just noted that this patch is imperfect, because we get
 
 Oct 16 14:18:04 zybyt distccd[79461]: (dcc_remove_pid) Warning: failed to remove pid file /var/run/distccd.pid: Permission denied
 
 at daemon shutdown. This really does not interfere start/stop
 operations, but is somehow irritating. From here I see two ways to go:
 
 1. Hack the source not to attempt to remove the pid file and remove it
 from distccd.sh
 2. Go for /var/run/distccd/pid && chown distcc /var/run/distccd.
 
 Dominic, Volker, what do you think?
