When I go to my local machine and try to clone I get this result ...

[08:31:16]william /tmp$ git clone git://whpiv.net/montco.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/montco/.git/

With no response.  I have waited about five minutes and gave up.  Any
recommendations on how to approach this.  How do I tell if git-daemon
is working correctly? 

I have opened port 9418 on my router and firewall.  So think I am reaching
my server, I just don't know how to tell what git-daemon is telling
git-clone or if they are even communicating at all.
