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 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!
