However, something is wrong with it. svnserve just hangs and does not accept new connections, i.e: on the fbsd4.9-Stable box: svnserve -X -r /home/bjorn/SubversionRepositories on another box: svn co svn://hostname/BTH-Pinball [nothing happens] There is no information in any logs, so I really don't know what is causing this. In the subversion documentation, they have this entry: ---- On FreeBSD, certain operations (especially svnadmin create) sometimes hang. This is usually due to a lack of available entropy on the system. Subversion asks APR to generate random numbers to create UUIDs from time to time, and certain operating systems will block for high-quality randomness. You probably need to configure the system to gather entropy from sources such as hard-disk and network interrupts. Consult your system manpages, specifically random(4) and rndcontrol(8) on how to effect this change. Another workaround is to compile APR against /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random. ---- Ok, this is beyond my simple knowledge of bsd. I did do rndcontrol -s 1 -s 2 -s 3 -s 4 -s 5 -s 6 -s 7 -s 8 -s 9 in hopes that more "entropy" could be gathered, but the problem is still there. What to do? Greetings, Bjorn
