title: Stuck with Gitolite on OSX
body: <p>I am in the process of installing the latest version of gitolite on an osx mountain lion server.  I set it up under it's own 'git' user account and followed the instructions here: <a href="https://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite</a></p>
  
  <p>I am getting stuck in trying to check-out the gitolite-admin repo from the server on my workstation.  I run this command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git clone git@gitserver:gitolite-admin
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but get this in return:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Cloning into 'gitolite-admin'...
  Connection closed by gitserver
  fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
  
  Please make sure you have the correct access rights
  and the repository exists.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It seems that I got the SSH set-up correctly because it's not asking for a PWD but I am stuck on where to look to try to debug the problem.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Grant</p>
