Now this was a mistake I should not have done…
|
|
|
|
About a month ago I have moved my AWS EC2 machine from Amazon Linux to RHEL 6.2. This was good.
|
|
I have moved all my files and stuff, recreated my own user, everything was just fine. Then I
|
|
copied my `gitosis <https://github.com/tv42/gitosis>`_ account (user ``git`` and its home
|
|
directory). Then I tried to log in. It failed. I was blaming OpenSSH for a week or so, changed
|
|
the config file in several ways, tried to change the permissions on ``~git/.ssh/*``, but still
|
|
nothing. Permission were denied, I was unable to push any of my development changes. Now after a
|
|
long time of trying, I coincidently ``tail -f``-ed ``/var/log/audit/audit.log`` (wanted to open
|
|
``auth.log`` instead) and that was my first good point. It told me that ``sshd`` was unable to
|
|
read ``~git/.ssh/authorized_keys``, which gave me the idea to run ``restorecon`` on ``/home/git``.
|
|
It solved the problem.
|
|
|
|
All hail SELinux and RBAC!
