hgrc

I want to create a hgrc file to set the username and password for all paths on some machine, e.g no matter in which directory I am in, hg clone some_path will always work without prompting for a username and a password (this is for an auto-deploy script).

I followed the instructions and created a file: /etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/deploy.rc

it's contents:

[auth]
default.prefix= http://myrepo
default.username = myuname
default.password = pwd

But when I do hg clone some_path I get abort: error: Connection refused.

What Am i doing wrong?
