Ah; well, I guess now's as good a time as any to migrate to gitolite then. I set up gitosis a few years ago and it hadn't been giving me any problems.

I did this just to see, and this is quite interesting:

debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /home/tim/.ssh/id_rsa. debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----BEGIN' debug3: key_read: missing keytype debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type 'Proc-Type:' debug3: key_read: missing keytype debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type 'DEK-Info:' debug3: key_read: missing keytype debug3: key_read: missing whitespace (x~20) debug2: key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----END' debug3: key_read: missing keytype debug1: identity file /home/tim/.ssh/id_rsa type 1 ... debug2: key: /home/tim/.ssh/id_rsa (0x7f7c8f0f7020) debug2: key: /home/tim/.ssh/id_dsa ((nil)) debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password debug3: start over, passed a different list publickey,password debug3: preferred gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,publickey,keyboard-interactive,password debug3: authmethod_lookup publickey debug3: remaining preferred: keyboard-interactive,password debug3: authmethod_is_enabled publickey debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Offering public key: /home/tim/.ssh/id_rsa debug3: send_pubkey_test debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password debug1: Trying private key: /home/tim/.ssh/id_dsa debug3: no such identity: /home/tim/.ssh/id_dsa debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method ...

That is very odd, as I didn't change anything after ssh-keygen and gitosis-init. I suppose it's irrelevant anyway, as I'll be switching to gitolite.

Thanks for the advice, and sorry about the noise.
