Obviously. Let's say we didn't ask Windows to change anything, but it
constantly does. ;)

Well it once was working with the RPMs on a SuSE 10.0 server. When it
stopped working, I installed a fresh svn 1.4.3 package from source
(configure, make, make install) on a different server (SuSE 10.2) with
exactly the same result.

Unfortunately, no, it only consists of an e, r, i and k. (I guess I
could've mentioned that before). All nicely between 32 and 127. :)

Nope.. I wish it was that simple :)

Where would I find this configuration? I can't find any global config
for Subversion except the section in the apache configuration.

I agree it's weird that his account on another computer won't work, but
Tortoise has yet to send in the username when it produces the error, so
the server's handling of the username can't really have anything to do
with it.

What exactly is the full OPTIONS-request Tortoise does before a commit?
I'd like to try it out and see what the server says, maybe that can
provide a lead.

I'm going to try with command line svn tools later today.. in the mean
time all suggestions are still welcome :)

Maurits.
