So basically you are installing a new server with a new repository which
you will want to access from linux.
As I have already stated, as long as the windows box can authenticate
users (I don't know how to authenticate users against a samba
environment only against an Active Directory environment although I'm
sure that there are guides out there, and if you already have most of
the staff doing it then this shouldn't be a problem) then if you have
web_dav_svn running in apache the server will deal with the
authentication for you the clients running any kind of SVN client won't
need to worry about having samba or pam or any other authentication
running. Imagine logging into a website, the web browser doesn't care if
it's a .htaccess file or a proprietary authentication system running in
the background.
Maybe I'm not understanding the question, if it's how to authenticate
windows and svn against a samba system, then this really is off topic
and something that you already must have implemented. If you're asking
how will the clients authenticate against the svn server then they just
send their credentials and the server deals with it through web_dav_svn.
If you're asking how do I install svn on windows 2003 server and
implement web_dav_svn (or any other kind of authentication) then RTFM,
it's all in there. Otherwise you'll need to be a bit clearer about your
problem.
