Subversion server configuration

The file /etc/xinetd.d/svnserve should contain:
service svnserve
{
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
user = root
wait = no
disable = no
server = /usr/bin/svnserve
server_args = -i -r /xxxx/xxxx/xxxx
port = 3690
}

The path /xxxx/xxxx/xxxx is the SVN repository.

Disabling IPv6

echo "alias net-pf-10 off" >> /etc/modprobe.conf
