(This is a problem with ssh, not gitolite)
I've configured gitolite on my home server (ubuntu 12.04 server, open-ssh). I want an special identityfile to administer the repositories, so I need to access throught ssh to my own host ussing two different identity keys.
This is the content of my .ssh/config file:
Host gitadmin.gammu.com
User git
IdentityFile /home/alvaro/.ssh/id_gitolite_mantra
Host git.gammu.com
User git
IdentityFile /home/alvaro/.ssh/id_alvaro_mantra
This is the content of my hosts file:
# Git
127.0.0.1 gitadmin.gammu.com
127.0.0.1 git.gammu.com
So I should be able to communicate with gitolite this way to access with the "normal" account:
$ssh git.gammu.com
and this way to access with the administrative account:
$ssh gitadmin.gammu.com
When I try to access with the normal account, all is ok:
alvaro@mantra:~/.ssh$ ssh git.gammu.com
PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
hello alvaro, this is gitolite 2.2-1 (Debian) running on git 1.7.9.5
the gitolite config gives you the following access:
@R_ @W_ testing
Connection to git.gammu.com closed.
When I do the same with the administrative account:
alvaro@mantra:~$ ssh gitadmin.gammu.com
PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
hello alvaro, this is gitolite 2.2-1 (Debian) running on git 1.7.9.5
the gitolite config gives you the following access:
@R_ @W_ testing
Connection to gitadmin.gammu.com closed.
It should show the administrative repository. If I launch ssh with verbose option:
ssh -vvv gitadmin.gammu.com

It's offering the key id_alvaro_mantra, and it should'nt!!
The same happens when I specify the key with the -i option:
ssh -i /home/alvaro/.ssh/id_gitolite_mantra -vvv gitadmin.gammu.com

What the hell is happening??? I'm missing something, but I can't find what.
These are the contents of my home dir:

There are a bunch of other keys which aren't offered... why id_alvaro_mantra is offered and not the other keys? I can't understand.
I need some help, don't know where to look....
