| svnserve can also be run from inetd (port 3690).

| authentification I think
| but if you plan on using apache, it's pretty useless to add it.
| regarding ssh keys, these could be collected with cvs before we switch
| (ask people to commit their key to some file/module).
| but you may not want to create 700 ssh accounts on the server,
| maintaining a simple flat file for apache access is easier
(for information)

I was told on irc, that we can have a single ssh account with all ssh
keys, and use the :
- --tunnel-user arg : tunnel username (default is current uid's name)
option of svnserve server-side to identify a user alongside the ssh key
in the authorized_keys file.

maybe that would make things easier if you want to use ssh

Cheers,
Mik
