I've been following this tutorial to install and setup git on Ubuntu Server 10.04 using Windows 7 as a client. However, after finally figuring out how it works (executed gitosis-init a bunch of times on the wrong key), I copied the id_rsa.pub file over to the server in /tmp folder and ran it again.

Unfortunately it still doesn't work and when I execute

git clone [email protected]:gitosis-admin.git

it asks for gitosis's password rather than the RSA Passphrase. I'm assuming is the same problem this guy is having here... however, after following his instructions:

Purge git-core and gitosis and manually remove the /srv/gitosis folder

and following the instructions again (with the proper id_rsa.pub file this time), I'm still having the same issue.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Is there any way to probe for more information that might help in solving this?
