+Using git-daemon
+================
+
+Anonymous read-only access to ``git`` repositories is provided by
+``git-daemon``, which is distributed as part of ``git``. But
+``gitosis`` will still help you manage it: setting ``daemon = yes`` in
+your ``gitosis.conf``, either globally in ``[gitosis]`` or
+per-repository under ``[repo REPOSITORYNAME]``, makes ``gitosis``
+create the ``git-daemon-export-ok`` files in those repository, thus
+telling ``git-daemon`` that publishing those repositories is ok.
+
+To actually run ``git-daemon`` in Ubuntu, put this in
+``/etc/event.d/local-git-daemon``:
+
+.. include:: etc-event.d-local-git-daemon
+   :literal:
+
+For other operating systems, use a similar invocation in an ``init.d``
+script, ``/etc/inittab``, ``inetd.conf``, ``runit``, or something like
+that (good luck).
