I modified /etc/xinetd.d/git:

server_args     = --inetd --enable=receive-pack --export-all
--base-path=/srv/git /srv/git


But now it claims a permission problem for writing

Aug  9 21:21:19 vcs git-daemon[8600]: fatal: The remote end hung up
unexpectedly
Aug  9 21:21:30 vcs git-daemon[8618]: error: insufficient permission for
adding an object to repository database ./objects
Aug  9 21:21:30 vcs git-daemon[8618]:


So, I can do a chown -R and fix it for me,  but.... every other project
has root as owner and . so....  I have a strong believe that I'm the one
doing something wrong/different and I don't want to mess with the server
if someone could point me out on how to do it correctly.

Thanks,
Nico
