[Bug 357001] [NEW] distcc prevents mounting due to wrong home directory

[nh2]

Public bug reported:

On distcc install, the user distccd gets / as home directory.
This prevents users from user-mounting mounts in the fstab:

mount /media/mymountpoint
/sbin/mount.davfs: / is the home directory of user distccd.
You can't mount into another users home directory

sudo usermod --home /dev/null distccd
does the trick.

Suggestion: Set the correct --home to /dev/null on install.
