svnserver won't run as specified user

[Jeff Cave <je...@sunergon.com>]

I am having difficulty running svnserve on a w2k server. I run it as an admin, and everything works fine. I run it as a user I have created for it and it fails miserably.

I must confess, I am not a w2k admin type person. I don't know what it is that I am missing. I did log in as the user in question and checked to make sure they could access all the necessary folders that I can think of (svnbin, svnrepo).

Can anyone offer any advice? I need to get this up and running before my manager decides that VSS is what we will use "because it is an MS product".

How are you running svnserver as a service?  The user that the service logs in 
as must have a couple of special rights; I forget exactly what they are called 
in W2K.  Something like "Log on as a service" and "Create a Token object" and 
"Replace a Process Level Token" (those are the NT names).  Logging in 
interactively as that user doesn't tell you much of use, since interactive users 
gain different rights than service users.
