Deskin, Many thanks for your explanation. I hope I understand what you said. I deleted /etc/xinetd.d/git-daemon. Then, I tried to git pull. But, I got connection refused. git uses port 9418. Should I request IT Admin to open the port 9418 for me? git pull git://git.mycompany.com/pub/git/u-boot.git HEAD git.mycompany.com[0: 10.66.4.168]: errno=Connection refused fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection refused) Another question, I got no output of "netstat | grep 9418". It means no program runs at port 9418 at the public repository machine. Is it correct? netstat | grep 9418 --- On Thu, 11/20/08, Deskin Miller <deskinm@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: Deskin Miller <deskinm@xxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Re: Challenge of setting up git server (repository).
