Hi Matt. Are you using cyrus-sasl package version 2.1.25? It seems to break something in the authorization mechanism. The generic failure is some voodoo from one of the developer, who was to lazy to implement the output message the right way. ;)
If you're downgrading SVN to 1.6 then maybe you should also try downgrading cyrus-sasl to 2.1.23-r4 (latest stable). >From what I read it seems that subversion 1.7 would have problems with cyrus-sasl 2.1.23 and vice versa: svn 1.6 won't go with cyrus-sasl 2.1.15. It a really odd issue over here and there is a chance that I read something wrong, so I'm pasting the links below: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6891788.html http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.ports/51033 It's not only a Gentoo issue. It's troubling OpenBSD users as well. I even found a Debian user with the same problem, but still the only solution seems to be sticking to stable versions for the time being. (Still: I hope I'm wrong about the whole thing.) Regards.
