I have git-shell in /etc/passwd for his account.

The daemon is a read only facility. And you have checked the suggestion by Linus to set the umask to world readable, which brings me to the next question. How did Martin actually "push changes back"? Was it over git protocol over SSH, or the webdav thing over http push? The comment by Linus is about the former and I do not know offhand who webdav thing runs as or how it handles the permissino bits. It could be that your ssh daemon installation bypasses .bashrc and uses its own .ssh/environment, in which case your user would may need to do umask there as well. ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2006-06-09 20:18 Subject: Re: Git-daemon messing up permissions for gitweb Message-ID: <7vslmem6at.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7vslmem6at.fsf%40assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net In-Reply-To: <5A14AF34CFF8AD44A44891F7C9FF41050795787F@usahm236.amer.corp.eds.com> ``` "Post, Mark K" writes: > Martin is using git over SSH.

Loosen it and you will be fine. ``` ## Linus Torvalds, 2006-06-09 20:22 Subject: RE: Git-daemon messing up permissions for gitweb Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/Pine.LNX.4.64.0606091321100.5498%40g5.osdl.org In-Reply-To: <5A14AF34CFF8AD44A44891F7C9FF41050795787F@usahm236.amer.corp.eds.com> ``` On Fri, 9 Jun 2006, Post, Mark K wrote: > > Martin is using git over SSH.

But that should be tweakable by configuring what sshd does for the user, shouldn't it? The "LOGIN PROCESS" section from man sshd(8) seems to talk about $HOME/.ssh/environment, for example. ``` ## Linus Torvalds, 2006-06-09 20:44 Subject: Re: Git-daemon messing up permissions for gitweb Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/Pine.LNX.4.64.0606091344010.5498%40g5.osdl.org In-Reply-To: <7vodx2m5jp.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> ``` On Fri, 9 Jun 2006, Junio C Hamano wrote: > > But that should be tweakable by configuring what sshd does for > the user, shouldn't it?
