I followed the http://distcc.samba.org/ howto. Like this;

1.For each machine, download distcc, unpack, and do 
./configure && make && sudo make install
(distcc is ports. i used the one in the ports)

2. On each of the servers, run distccd --daemon, with --allow options to
restrict access.
(did this. no respons. I also tried using
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/distccd.sh.sample, I guess thats the script i want
to use)

3. Put the names of the servers in your environment: 
export DISTCC_HOSTS='localhost red green blue'
(Yeap, I did this. 'export DISTCC_HOSTS="localhost tugs hugs"'

4. Build!
(I tried 'make buildworld CC=/usr/local/bin/distcc' in /usr/src. It
build, but distccmon-gnome shows me nothing. (i also did a ps aux on one
of the machines, and it does not use any CPU power on distcc/gcc/cc)


(The distccd is started up. I can also connect to it now(telnet
<hostname> 3632)
