gitolite

I have a centos 5.8 box with gitolite installed . It worked fine until I yesterday my gitolite didn't work. ( fatal the remote end hung up unexpectedly)
I logged to the box using root account. and then su to git user but I can't. I test again by creating a new user , but I also can not su to that user.

Any idea ?, thank you very much.

P.S: I installed postfix the day before , but I'm not sure if postfix cause the problem.
