I'd like to use pam authentication for my svn server.

What I did was:

aptitude install libapache2-mod-auth-pam

svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /var/www/svn
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/svn

in /etc/apache2/conf.d

<Location /svn>
	DAV svn
	SVNParentPath /var/www/svn
#	AuthType Basic
#	AuthName "SVN"
#	AuthPAM_Enabled On
#	Require file-group
</Location>

and it worked.

When I uncommented the above and:
chown -R root:staff /var/www/svn
e
find /var/www/svn -type d -exec chmod 770 {} \;
find /var/www/svn -type f -exec chmod 660 {} \;

and logged with my credential (I'm a member of staff) I get this:

[Fri Aug 11 15:07:58 2006] [error] [client 192.168.1.72] PAM: user
'ivan' - not authenticated: Authentication failure

what's missing?


thx
