Здравствуйте, David.


DW> Is user "svn" a member of the group "wheel"? See
DW> http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-November/063649.html

It is not required to be member of group wheel to low process rights from root.
wheel group is requierd only if I want to rise my rights to root.

Also notice that on both systems 'home' and 'kes' there is svn group
and user. The svn user is not member of wheel group. On both systems
user svn has not home directory and has not valid shell (because of it
is not required to login as svn user, this is just user to start
svnserve process)

On FreeBSD 7.0 svnserve startsup normally, on 7.1 it can not

Error is described earlier.
