Re: Specifing alternate svnserver for use behind a ssh tunnel

Hi Eric,
Thank you very much...
Two keys with different behavior is a nice idea.

I better had mark this mail as feature-request...
,because i like to do this in a more generic fashion.
Of course can i do same special ssh tricks, like binding svnserve to a local port or override the commando... but this will solve the problem just for me, not for other ones.

I think this is a missing functionality, which is solved successfully by other tools eg. CVS.

@tom
Sorry both .profile and .bash_rc set my $PATH, none is run by sshd.

regards
 Felix Meulenkamp

I think this is a FAQ, although there is no entry in the FAQ :-(

Anyway, read the sshd man page: it describes the file
~/.ssh/authorized_keys; in that file (on the server) you can specify a
command to run whenever someone logs in; you can force that command to
be /usr/local/bin/svnserve or whatever you want.

This will be inconvenient if your users use ssh _both_ to get an
interactive login shell _and_ to do subversion operations, but if
that's a problem, you can have them create a separate key for use only
with Subversion, and edit only that key's command.
