OK, thanks for that. The reason why I am still using subversion 1.4 is
that I only want to use the software packages that our distributor
(RedHat) ships. Before I start hacking any source code I am going to
try mod_python as described here: http://www.thoughtspark.org/node/25
And mod_auth_kerb also supports fallback mechanisms with
"KrbAuthoritative off".

But let's assume that I only want to use mod_auth_kerb for now. I
still cannot figure out how to tell apache to honour the conf/authz
for EACH project. I do not want to add all the paths to the different
authz files to my apache config as svn projects are being created
automatically.
If I set "require valid-user" then the admins of each repo should
still be able to limit access to their repositories. How would I do
that? It seems like wildcards do not work (like "AuthzSVNAccessFile
/var/www/svn/*/conf/authz").

Thanks,
Daniel Klaffenbahch
