Multiple users with svn+ssh
Following on from my last post on moving from svnserve to svn+ssh, I had to then get this setup working for multiple users. This is how I achieved it on CentOS 5.2, hopefully it’ll prove useful for someone else.
This is based on a tutorial I found on the subversion dev mailing list.
# We need a group for our svn users groupadd svnusers # Add the users useradd svn -g svnusers # this is the svn 'admin' user useradd user1 -g svnusers useradd user2 -g svnusers useradd user3 -g svnusers useradd user4 -g svnusers # … etc # Edit each svn user's .bashrc file, e.g. su - user1 nano -w .bashrc # Add the followng line to the bottom umask 002 # allow user + group to write, no other. # Create the dir where we're storing the repo (as root) mkdir -p /usr/share/subversion/repositories # Set permissions on our new dir chown -R root.svnusers /usr/share/subversion/repositories chmod -R u+wrx,g+wrx,o-wxr /usr/share/subversion/repositories chown -R root.svnusers /usr/share/subversion # The following may be overkill # chown -R root.svnusers /usr/share # Rename the original svnserve command into svnserve.bin mv /usr/bin/svnserve /usr/bin/svnserve.bin # Create a new svnserve file nano -w /usr/bin/svnserve # Paste the following into nano and save as svnserve #!/bin/sh # wrap in order to put root in by default # Script implemented by Adrian Robert <arobert @cogsci.ucsd.edu> exec /usr/bin/svnserve.bin -r /usr/share/subversion/repositories "$@" # Make our svnserve wrapper executable chmod u+wrx,g+rx-w,o+xr-w svnserve chmod u+wrx,g+rx-w,o+xr-w /usr/bin/svnserve # Log in as the svn user su - svn # Create our repos svnadmin create /usr/share/subversion/repositories/projects cd /usr/share/subversion/repositories/projects/conf # Edit the repo conf nano -w svnserve.conf # Add the following under the [general] header anon-access = none auth-access = write
