I have been banging my head against a wall for a while now, and none of the people in my immediate vicinity know more than I do at this point.
My office has a lab box that they want to use for a central git repository -- mainly for testing various things. They also, of course, want me to get some experience setting up git so that we can possibly set up other git instances later.
I am running Windows 7 with an OEL 5.7 VM, and the box is running OEL 5.5. From my VM, I SSHed into the lab box and started tinkering. After installing git and gitosis, I have managed to get the instance working locally. I can see the git repository just fine, and if I try to clone it locally, it all works like a dream. But if I try to SSH in from my VM, it either A.) kicks me out with fatal: 'testproject.git' does not appear to be a git repository or B.) kicks me out with Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic), depending on how I invoke git.
Example: I configured the access to a test project I created (and tested locally) as follows:
[group team]
writable = testproject
members = oracle@RCSDB cwerness cwerness@localhost cwerness@localhost.localdomain
This is my first experience setting up a git repository, so I wanted to cover my bases regarding remote users. Thus, the redundancy in the members section.
When I try to clone the repository with my username only, I get
[cwerness@localhost Desktop]$ git clone cwerness@10.1.1.10:testproject.git
Cloning into testproject...
Enter passphrase for key '/home/cwerness/.ssh/id_rsa':
fatal: 'testproject.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
If, however, I try to clone the repository with more information, I get
[cwerness@localhost Desktop]$ git clone "cwerness@localhost.localdomain"@10.1.1.10:testproject.git
Cloning into testproject...
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
I have all the public keys stored in the /keydir folders. The repository was created and is owned by the user oracle, and I have tried all permutations of that user and its domain in the above clone commands as well, to no effect. Additionally, I tried setting up a ~/.ssh/config file like this
Host labbox
Hostname 10.1.1.10
User cwerness
IdentityFile /home/cwerness/.ssh/id_rsa
Again, I tried all the different ways to connect, from both users. Nothing is giving me any more information than I already had.
The box is set up to authenticate SSH connections via public keys, and that works fine. I can SSH into the box as cwerness with no problems.
This is getting to be a huge headache for me, and I'd like it if someone could tell me exactly HOW I am being stupid, if not a way to fix this problem.
