    3 To use distcc, just:
    4 a) Set DISTCC_ALLOW=IPADDR[/MASK] to /etc/rc.conf.
    5 b) Export DISTCC_HOSTS to include the compilation hosts.
    6 c) Prepend /usr/lib/distcc to your $PATH environment variable.
    7    (e.g. in pkgmk.conf)
    8 d) Export MAKEFLAGS=-j<n> where n is a number representing the number of
    9   	parallel jobs you want.
   10 e) Optionally set DISTCC_LOG_LEVEL=LEVEL in /etc/rc.conf to be more or
   11 	less verbose to syslogd.

   14 DISTCCD SERVICE
   15 
   16 There's a service to simplify running distccd. By default, it wont run without DISTCC_ALLOW=IPADDR[/MASK] to accept connections and runs as user 'nobody'. Both values can be overridden in /etc/rc.conf, like this:
