Do you mean git-clone with a remote URL (git://ip/...)? In that case your local user does not matter at all: git-clone talks to git-daemon, git-daemon runs as "nobody" (per your inetd config), and "nobody" has no access to the repo. If you use git-daemon you need to make sure that the user which git-daemon runs as can access the repo. For a quick check you can run git-daemon as kanagesh and restart it. The real solution is to make the repo accessible to "nobody", or better yet to a dedicated user "gitdaemon" or such which you create and which would be the user to run git-daemon. > > How can I provide you with more information for this? > >> >>> >>> xinetd has been setup to listen for git requests on port 9418 and >>> spawn git-daemon.
