Can you please detail? I could not get this to work. I set up sudoers
and everything. But I cant get svn to run sudo.

repository
========
/home/joe/repos/testmodule

/etc/sudoers
==========
john localhost@localdomain = (joe) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/svnserve

then i tried
1)
/home/john/.subversion
===================
[tunnel]
sudossh = ssh sudo -u joe

ran
svn checkout svn+sudossh://localhost.localdomain/home/joe/repos/testmodule

gives the follow error:
ssh: illegal option -- u

I dont know if this is a bug. Why the ssh command is being parsed?
Instead of just running sudo -u joe svnserve -t?

2)
.bashrc
======
export PATH = ./:$PATH

/home/john/svnserve
=================
#!/bin/bash
echo "hello"
sudo -u joe /usr/bin/svnserve -t

then ran
svn checkout svn+ssh://localhost.localdomain/home/joe/repos/testmodule

got the error
svn: No repository found in
'svn+ssh://localhost.localdomain/home/joe/repos/testmodule'

How did you do it? I dont seem to understand what svn is doing when I
run "svn+..."

thanks,
Krishna

I was half asleep when I sent the previous message. I might not have
done what I meant. The solution 2) works just fine. (You dont need the
echo command, ofcourse). One should use --tunnel-user option to keep
track of who is modifying the repository. Otherwise it would look as
if the owner of the repos is doing all the modifications. One can even
force this through sudoers.

But does anyone know why solution 1) does not work?
> [tunnel]
> sudossh = ssh sudo -u joe
effectively launches "ssh -u ... svnserver -t" not  "ssh sudo -u joe
svnserver -t"

Is that how it is supposed to work? If so why?

regards,
Krishna.
