 Subject: Running subversion under xinetd

 Hello,
 the svnbook contains instructions how to run subversion under inetd
 but instructions for using xinetd are missing. Please add the
 following information which I tested on my computer:

 ========================
 svnserve via xinetd

 xinetd is a replacement of the inet daemon which is used mainly in
 Redhat based distributions. In order to configure svnserve for xinetd,
 create file /etc/xinetd.d/svn vith the following contents:

 # default: on
 # description: Subversion server for the svn protocol
 service svn
 {
         disabled                = no
         port                    = 3690
         socket_type             = stream
         protocol                = tcp
         wait                    = no
         user                    = subversion
         server                  = /usr/local/bin/svnserve
         server_args             = -i -r /path/to/subversion/repositories
 }

 Be sure that your /etc/services contains the definition of the prot
 for svn as described in the section "svnserve via inetd". Without
 proper setting the daemon will not start.

 In Redhat based distributions you can issue the command:

 chkconfig --add svn

 You will then be able to switch the server on and off from the
 graphical configuration tools.
