I've posted on this before, some time ago, but got no response: so I thought I'd try again to see if I have any more luck.

The SUSE version is 10.0 on AMD64 x 2

I'd really like to use svn, so I need to get svnserve to start. I've done a fresh installation from the SUSE installation DVD and I can see that the service is installed properly, however it refuses to start. When I try to start it manually in YaST, I get the message:

/etc/init.d/svnserve start returned 2 (invalid or excess arguments):
Starting svnserve ..failed

If I then go and look in /var/log/messages, I find:

Jan 24 22:37:01 linux startproc: startproc: No such user or user id: svn

Does anyone know what's going on, and what I need to do to get svn going using svnserve? Perhaps there's another log I should be looking at? Or perhaps I need to create an account? If so, what sort of permissions should it have?

Many thanks


Peter
