User rights problem

Hello everybody,

I am having trouble with user rights and SVN with turtoise client.

Problem is, that the files under .svn like for example "entries" are 
created with only read permissions for the group.

There are 2 users accessing this folder: "user1" and "user2".
Both belong to the "users" group.

If user1 does a checkout and has therefore created those files, user2 
will not be able to add files. Turtoise says: "can't open file .svn/lock 
- access denied"

Looking at the folder structure I see that .svn folder is drwxr-xr-x and 
the entries is -r-xr-----

I am pretty lost here having tryed multiple setups. Non works.

Thank you for any help. I really apreaciate it.

Kind regards,

merlin

You're not meant to share working copies between users. Doing so
negates many of the reasons for using version control in the first
place. You're looking at a pretty standard setup here - user 2 can't
access user 1's files. It's pretty basic security.

There is also a known issue with SVN 1.5 and Samba shares. It's a bug
in Samba exposed by SVN 1.5 and later, and the latest Samba does not
have this bug.
