Re: password cache warning, anyway to turn it off by default?

thanks for your responses.

My question was not about setting the config param, but about getting svn to
see the global config.

The documentation says that the global configuration area is expected to be
/etc/subversion, when I look at my config.log I see that sysconfig =
${PREFIX}/etc. So I've created $PREFIX/etc/subversion/{config,servers}
files with the requisite key=values, but on checkout via web_dav with
kerberos auth I still get the warning prompt.

Additionally, when checking out via svn:// I only get the warning when I
commit... which is just weird.

I'm using subversion 1.6.2, and apache 2.something...
