Overview: git supports ssh as the transport for communication between the local machine and a remote repository. At the command line there are no problems accessing a remote repository using kerberized ssh. However, egit/jgit fails with "Auth fail" There are no other error messages propagated. Other eclipse plugins work with kerberized ssh (CVS, RSE, etc) so I do not believe it is an issue with Eclipse core. Steps to Reproduce: 1) Follow instructions at http://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/User_Guide#Working_with_remote_Repositories to clone a remote project. 2) In the clone Git Repository window, enter in the host, repo path, select ssh for the protocol and enter the username. 3) Click Next Actual Results: An error message will appear saying: "Cannot list the available branches. Reason: ssh://username@host/path: Auth fail." Username, host, and path are filled in in the error message. Expected Results: I assume that the plugin should list branches or at least the master so that I can select something to clone. Build Date & Platform: Eclipse Version: Indigo Build: 20110615-0604 on Fedora 14 (Gnome) EGit plugin version: 1.0.0.201106090707-r Additional Builds and Platforms: Same bug occurs on Mac Leopard (Same Eclipse version)

does it happen if you use the self contained command line downloadable here: http://www.eclipse.org/jgit/download/ ?
