It figures. We recently discovered the 8-character password thing
after someone mistyped our super-long, secure root password containing
multiple special characters... and got in anyway. :/

Shorter passwords are fine for this. And _now_ it works with our
repo. Thanks again!

I still can't check out from the ASF repo, though. Any idea why it
thinks that URL is malformed?
$ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/struts/maven/trunk/pom
svn: Malformed URL for repository

Thanks,
