This need is indeed rare, but not nonexistent. In fact, if cyrus-sasl implemented the keytab: configuration option, there would be no need to set KRB5_KTNAME prior to starting svnserve. I also remember a need to pass $ORACLE_HOME to apache on start for some PHP module to work correctly. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:sudakov@sibptus.tomsk.ru
