can not clone via git:// anymore

Hi,

I've recently discovered that my GIT repository is not letting me clone it via git clone git://. It works using git clone git@.. (SSH) but with GIT protocol..

Here is the case: hinkok@alala /tmp $ git --version git version 1.6.0.6 hinkok@alala /tmp $ git clone git://zidar/sdk.git Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/sdk/.git/ fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

My earlier clone (few months old) has this in .git/config:
hinkok@alala /work/git/sdk.git $ cat .git/config 
[core]
	repositoryformatversion = 0
	filemode = true
	bare = false
	logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
	url = git@zidar:repositories/sdk.git
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
	remote = origin
	merge = refs/heads/master

But I remember cloning via SSH that time, because I needed git push to work, but now other developer do not need the SSH access, but only GIT read-only - they can only clone, not push.

I do not administer the server git repos is located on, so I must have some information before I attack the admin..

Thank you, Hinko
