Maybe I'm confused. Or perhaps we're using "authentication" in different senses on different levels. I think there's a question I should have asked sooner... Normally, access to the Subversion repositories I use is actually authenticated via an ssh key used for login to the server host. I'm not sure in what sense the username field actually contributes any security-relevant information in a setup like that. Does it? -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/">Eric S. Raymond</a>
