Either way. They don't want to do it, or I have to do it, like I have to do
with the subversion service already (with theire help of course). But thats
an easy job until now :-) A few updates, checking that backups are running.
SVN is very stable !
But I think more of a way, that we can set up a special option in the "passwd"
file like "auth=os" and subversion will only check if the user is allowed
using its config files, but verifies passwords using the os. Since every user
has the possability to auth on this server, this should be easy.
But I guess also the client must support this, so he provides the correct
encoded password ?! Otherwiese it should be a "small" change to the svnserve.
If this option is found in the config file, svnserve tries to auth using the
os, with the given user name.
If I ha dmore time I would look into this, but.......
