That's wierd. Looks like it's opening a port for distccd, a remote compiler daemon. I'd delete it.

Do you have the developer tools for Panther installed? I know panther supports distributed compiles. I suspect that somehow you inadvertently turned it on in the IDE.

i do have the dev tools installed. just deleting it should stop it? i don't have a need for the distributed builds.

Should not be necessary to delete the IDE.

Run XCode, go to Preferences->distributed builds and turn off the "Share my computer..." option at the bottom. If it's off then toggle it on, hit apply, the toggle it back off, and hit apply again.

Yes. That checkbox adds/removes the cron entry.
