I had this problem as well. Git uses SSH for authentication. Check the output of the following command:
grep "AllowUsers" /etc/ssh/sshd_config If "AllowUsers" is present in the SSH daemon config, make sure you include the "git" user. eg: My "/etc/ssh/sshd_conf" file contained this line: AllowUsers vortexcortex I edited the file via this command: gksudo gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_conf Then, I changed the AllowUsers line to read: AllowUsers vortexcortex git I saved the file, quit the editor and finally restarted my SSH daemon: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart (I have also had success via removing the AllowUsers line completely) -- Password request when trying to clone gitosis-admin.git https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/502093 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
