The problem was that it listened to requests coming from the local
machine. Now (after fixing that), everything seems to work. Thanks for
the help.

BTW - I'm currently running git-daemon in the following way:

sudo git-daemon --base-path=/pub/git/ --export-all

Is there any advantage to run it through xinetd? How do you run it?

Thanks,
