Bug Description
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.
