Re: SVN is trying to access the X509 Keychain?

Thanks for your continued help Andy.

        "Assuming you have an X509Anchors keychain as well as a login keychain,
select the login keychain and then go to Preferences (Command-,). If
"Set login keychain as default" isn't checked, check it, and try
again."

It's still a no-go unfortunately, surely I'm not the only SVN user that
has run into such difficulties? Should I regress to a working version
(prior to the horrible keychain hack that is billed as a powerful feature)?

To recap, I issue:
svn co --username abc --password 123 svn://localhost

The abc/123 combo is something that following documentation, I
configured in the passwd file. My svnserve daemon is running as user
"svn". Having issued the command above, this causes a pop-up to appear,
"Unlock Keychain":
*** svn wants to use keychain "X509Anchors" ***

No password that I can enter in this pop-up works. The root pass, admin
pass, svn's pass...all no good. If I select the X509Anchors keychain in
the "Keychain Access" app, the Edit->Change Password for Keychain
selection is disabled.

Thanks again!
