It's an interesting reading. Is it updated often?\nThere're some typos.\n\nAlso, a comment. When you show how to setup a git server with ssh, you\nhave:\n$ su git\n$ cd\n$ mkdir .ssh\n\nAfter su make sure umask doesn't allow group-writable, or the ssh daemon\nwill complay about wrong permissions in .ssh and .ssh/authorized_keys.\n\n$ su git\n$ umask 077\n$ ..\n\nAnd reset to more generous defaults after finishing with ssh setup.\n(Like by saving the previous value or just using 022.)\n\nRegards,\nLuciano Rocha\n\n-- \nLuciano Rocha \nEurotux Informática, S.A. \n"}]}
