(sorry for cross-posting) Hi all,
we all have all had our trouble with SVN since yesterday, and I think I tracked down why. A Debian server was compromised proving the existence of an exploit for a kernel security issue, and on the same day SF takes shell/svn/cvs access for a kernel exploit too (must be the same one): "( 2006-07-13 09:23:52 - Project CVS Service, Project Shell Service, Project Subversion (SVN) Service, SourceForge.net Web Site ) A recent kernel exploit was released that allowed a non admin user to escalate privileges on the host pr-shell1. We urge all users who frequent this host to change their password immediately and check their project group space for any tampering. As a precaution, we have blocked access to all project resources by password until the user resets their password. After the password has been reset, project resources should be accessible within 5 minutes." So, to enable write access for SVN again, you will have to change your SF password, which you can do by logging in on the SF webpage, going to "My Page" -> Preferences and choosing [Change Password] (how suprising ;) After I had done this I could commit to SVN again, though it did require me to authenticate with my passward, as it was not done automatically using my SSH key.
