gitolite installation: I cannot clone gitolite-admin repo!

Question

I'm trying to install gitolite on my ubuntu server machine.

still, there're lots of things I don't know yet, but I'm stepping forwarding very slowly following its instruction(http://sitaramc.github.com/gitolite/doc/1-INSTALL.html).

1. my account of the server is 'yoon' and gened key-pair using ssh-keygen command without passpharse(just hit enter). then, copy public key to /tmp dir and chmod it 777.
2. install gitolite using 'sudo apt-get install gitolite' and it also created gitolite account.(last line of output was No adminkey given - not initializing gitolite in /var/lib/gitolite.)
3. change user using 'sudo su gitolite' and exec 'gl-setup /tmp/id_rsa.pub'.
4. return to my account(yoon) and run 'git clone [email protected]:gitolite-admin' and then it asks [email protected]'s password.
5. If I hit enter because I didn't typed any passpharse when creating key pair, terminal said that Permission denied, please try again.

plz let me give any clue~ THANK YOU!

+ I'm using same maching as a server and a client.

Answer 1

Finally, I've got an answer from myself!

gitolite user created by devian package gitolite automatically is not allowed to login by sshd. so i've added gitolite to AllowUsers in file sshd_config.

Wew~~~

Answer 2

Whenever a ssh-based operation is asking for a password, it is likely because it:

• (the ssh daemon which listen to your request) doesn't find the public keys in ~gitolite/.ssh/authorized_keys file.
  In the Gitolite installation package method, that is what gl-setup is supposed to do (line 91+)
  Check that you do have the ~gitolite/.ssh/authorized_keys properly filled and protected.

• or your private key (id_rsa) is not where it supposed to be (in your own $HOME/.ssh)
