Hi again,

Due to the earlier problem I upgraded git on all machines and eneded up with a ubunut machine running in to problems.

I started getting errors like: "fatal: protocol error: bad line length character: fata"

Which after some head scratching caused me to tell xinetd to directly launch git-daemon, eventually it worked fine, but i did get this error message:

Jun 4 16:12:05 xyz git-daemon[10246]: unable to access '/root/.config/git/config': Permission denied

It's not the first time i've seen it but i've been able to ignore it before. This is running as a local user (as in not root) and this user shouldn't have access to /root. But i eventually had to do chown o+x /root to workaround this error.

Now, this must be wrong somehow? Or does --user work in inetd mode now?
So... comments, ideas?
