Re: Subversion, xinetd, and "Malformed network data"

From: Robert Dailey <rcdailey_at_gmail.com>

Here are the results of telnet:

$ telnet svn://localhost/myrepository
svn://localhost/myrepository: Unknown server error

I tried removing flags=REUSE but this did not help.

I'm able to do:

svn ls file:///srv/svn/repo/myrepository

This works just fine.

Am I using telnet properly to find the problem? Thanks for the help guys.
