Hmmm... Maybe _I_ am!...

Say that again?  It sounded like you said "Don't use git-daemon."

Yeah, I think I'm getting it now.  Don't use git-daemon, and
instead set up UNIX accounts with git-sh as their shell.  That
will let them push and fetch from a repository they can access.

Ahhh...  Straight ssh to git-sh, no git daemon or HTTP in the mix.

OK.  I seem to recall a recipe down this line somwhere...  Is there
a current "Best Practices" write up somewhere with these details
outlined in it?

So slowly we are clued...
