I stuck here now for like 2 Days a week.
I've got a CentOs machine with Gitlab4 and gitolite. Everything worked fine for weeks, but suddenly last weekend something strange happend quite all binaries disappeared from the mashine ( like yum, python, ruby, mysql ect. ) i've really no clue how that can happn... After hours of reinstalling and compiling gitlab was working again.
But i cant get the ssh keys between the gitlab and git user working. I already deleted and recreated the git user, set again all permissions, recreated the ssh keys, reinstalld gitolite ect. But nothing worked i keep getting the same error.
git user .ssh folder
-rwx------ 1 git git 557 Mar 27 16:46 authorized_keys
gitlab user .ssh folder
-rw------- 1 gitlab gitlab 1671 Mar 27 16:45 id_rsa

-rw-r--r-- 1 gitlab gitlab 391 Mar 27 16:50 known_hosts

Thanks for any Help.

Adding a password to your SSH key means that the private key will be stored encrypted on your local machine. That private key is a rather sensitive secret since knowing that key grants access to all servers on which you registered the corresponding public key (in your .
SSH uses private/public key pairs to protect your communication with the server. SSH passphrases protect your private key from being used by someone who doesn't know the passphrase. Without a passphrase, anyone who gains access to your computer has the potential to copy your private key.
Make sure the authorized_keys file and the private key itself have the correct permissions and ownership. Check that key-based authentication is allowed by the server. Make sure the private key is readable by the SSH client. If you're using PuTTY, make sure your SSH keys are properly configured for the session.
You mention:

This article mentions:
OpenSSH now checks for locked accounts by default.
On Linux systems, locked accounts are defined as those that have!!in the password field of/etc/shadow.
This is the default entry for accounts created with the useradd command.
Even if you are using GSI authentication and do not need local passwords,sshdwon't let the user login with this message:
Too many authentication failures for username
In the
sshddebugging info it will indicate that the account is locked:
User username not allowed because account is locked
Here is some additional information from the sshd Manual:
Regardless of the authentication type, the account is checked to ensure that it is accessible.
An account is not accessible if it is locked, listed in DenyUsers or its group is listed in DenyGroups.
The definition of a locked account is system dependant.
Some platforms have their own account database (eg AIX) and some modify the passwd field ( "*LK*" on Solaris and UnixWare, "*" on HP-UX, containing "Nologin" on Tru64, a leading "*LOCKED*" on FreeBSD and a leading "!!" on Linux).
If there is a requirement to disable password authentication for the account while allowing still public-key, then thepasswdfield should be set to something other than these values (eg "NP" or "*NP*" ).Fix: Replace !! with (for example) NP in /etc/shadow.
As mentioned by jszakmeister (comments) and Yongcan-Frank-Lv (comments):
sudo passwd -u git
would be enough to unlock the account.

This exact same issue was killing me in gitlab 5.2 (bitnami).
I finally tracked it down in /var/log/auth.log which showed:
May 28 11:32:10 ml115 sshd[27779]: User git not allowed because account is locked
May 28 11:32:10 ml115 sshd[27779]: input_userauth_request: invalid user git [preauth]
After that, it didn't take me long to find that the git entry in /etc/shadow had a ! that needed to be replaced with a *.
With * and all my keys set up, I was able to ssh in from another machine (note that ssh -vvT git@gitserver also helps with diagnosis).
git push -u origin master
now works.
My system is Ubuntu 13.04.
