Re: svn+ssh requests password 3 times

Thanks Ryan,

I'm pretty familiar with ssh, generating and installing keys,
etc.

If you do a straight ssh svnhost, you are only asked for your
password once. I think it is using keyboard-interactive/pam
authentication by default.

So is svn asking ssh to try a different authentication method??
