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!
