RE: Problem storing passwords when using subversion

Have you configured gnome keyring or kwallet? Are you using Subversion within a graphical session or through SSH? I think gnome keyring/kwallet are only available in graphical sessions.

The FAQ explain this in more details. If you can accept the security implications of storing the password in plaintext there is a script available in the FAQ: https://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#plaintext-passwords Kind regards, Daniel Sahlberg
