chroot jail and SVN repositories

Hey,

I followed this guide to setup a chroot jail for a newly created user:
https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debia...sh-user-session-to-a-directory-chrooted-jail/

It all works fine like in the guide, but I also created a svn-repository in that directory so the user could use it as their SVN server. The user can login via SSH, can ls' the repository etc. but access via SVN itself (Turtoise SVN in windows with svn+ssh://servername/svn-repo) is not working. The connection closes unexpectedly with not much info given on what's going wrong

Does anyone know what I may need to do in order to make this work?

Cheers,
Kira

 

Did you install Subversion in that chroot?
It may not be a good idea to use Subversion in chroot. I would set it up the usual way and only allow svn+ssh access.

 

Oh, how would I limit the user to only svn+ssh? That sounds like a good solution as well

 

Use the Subversion book or Internet search engines with

Code:

Subversion svn+ssh

.
