Mac OS X config question

I want to configure subversion to start from inetd but there doesn't  
seem to be an inetd.conf file anywhere in the latest OS X filesystem  
(10.5.4). Anyone have any idea how to set it up in inetd in this  
environment?

On Mac OS X, the replacement for inetd is launchd, which is both more 
general and more flexible:

man launchd
man launchd.plist

What you're going to do is create a .plist (XML) file in 
/Library/LaunchDaemons that tells launchd under what circumstances to 
launch your daemon.

(There's also an inetd compatibility mode)

Feel free to yell if you need specific help. (Also look in 
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons for examples of how the standard 
services are launched)

HTH,

-Steve

Since you say you're a newbie, this might save you some trouble.

You don't need to run svnserve as a daemon at all. It will run  
automatically when you try to access the repository using svn:// 
localhost.
