I have tried putting "setenv KRB5_KTNAME /home/svn/svn.keytab" in ~svn/.cshrc, it does not help. Evidently the svn user's login shell is not called when "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/svnserve start" is called. > In case the user does NOT have a default shell, I think > you should be able to also define a system-wide environmental > variable by coding > > KRB5_KTNAME=/home/svn/svn.keytab; export KRB5_KTNAME > > into /etc/rc.local (which will be executed at system startup). > See "man rc.local" for details. Excuse me? What does /etc/rc.local have to do with the rc.subr framework? Of course I can abandon the standard /usr/local/etc/rc.d/svnserve script and write my own one, or start svnserve from /etc/rc.local (which I will do if I don't find a more graceful way), but it is not what the question was about. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:sudakov@sibptus.tomsk.ru
