Hi all,

Many many (many) moons ago, I had set up an svn server at a company. I
remember setting it up so that it was svn+ssh, but it didn't require
local accounts in /etc/passwd, it just used accounts out of the
repositories passwd-db. I can't seem to remember how I did this, and I
can't seem to find a way to do it now. This leads me to believe that
my memory is failing.

What I need to do is make it so that certain users can check in and
out, but the server that the repositories resides on needs to be
locked down, and these users can't have accounts on it. I was
contemplating having local accounts with a shell of /dev/null, but I
wanted to ask the group what peoples thoughts on the best practices
are for this sort of scenario.

TIA,
Kenny
