"svn: Can't get password"

[Jon Frost <jo...@nestafuturelab.org>]

Hi there, 

I have installed subversion 1.2.1 on a windows server and created a
repository.  The repository can be accessed from other windows machines
using the TortoiseSVN client and checkin/checkout and commit works fine.
To throw a spanner in the works I also need to be able to access the
repository from macs running OSX 10.3 or higher.

Accessing the repository from a mac for a checkout and update works
fine, passwords are requested and accepted, but any commit fails with
the error:

"svn: Can't get password" 

This happens on both scplugin and svnX so I'm assuming it's at the svn
client level.  I have searched a lot of sources for info but I have not
been able to find anything relevant so far.


**** Details ****

Server

Windows 2000 server sp4

All machines are on a local network.

Does anyone have an suggestions?

Regards,

Jon
