Hi Paul,

Once I got the correct ssh keys into github and configured .gitconfig on the server behind the firewall, it never prompts for a password.  I added this to our .gitconfig.

[http]
        proxy = http://[e-mail]:80
[https]
        proxy = https://[e-mail]:80

and ran this:

ssh-keygen -t rsa

to generate a public key on the machine behind the firewall, and put that public key (~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) into github.  Note that I generated the rsa key with no passphrase (hit return twice, don't type a passphrase into ssh-keygen).

YMMV
