[Zope3-dev] problem with writable svn checkouts...

[Chris McDonough]

I'm having some problems getting to a writable checkout.  Here's the
symptom:

$ svn co svn+ssh://chrism@svn.zope.org/repos/main/Zope3/trunk Zope3
svn: Berkeley DB error while opening environment for filesystem
/svn/repos/main/db:
Permission denied

I think this may indicate some sort of user-specific permissions problem
on the server itself from what I've read in a google.

If I ssh to the server with -v, the log seems to confirm that it does
accept my key...

$ ssh -l chrism -v svn.zope.org

Is my svn.zope.org "chrism" user account maybe just not part of a group
that has permissions to perform ops against the BDB files?
