Someone explicitly told sshd to do that. Common causes of pubkey access fail: - wrong pubkey being used: run your ssh with '-vv' and look for "offered". make sure the pubkey that is being offered has been added to the server side ~/.ssh/authorized_keys - wrong pubkey being offered: if you are using ssh-agent, make sure you have 'ssh-add'ed the key you want to offer. Confirm with 'ssh-add -l' - wrong permissions on server side: sshd is very picky about permissions. Any directory component of $HOME/.ssh having g+w or o+w will make it refuse. Or wrong ownership (for example if you created a file using root). - AllowUsers setting on server side /etc/ssh/ssd_config: this item is not set by default, which allows everyone to log in. But if someone set it in for some reason, then the git user must also be added to it. In general, looking in server side /var/log/auth.log or /var/log/secure or some such file will give you more information. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
