Subversion and FreeBSD permission problems

[Darrell Blake]

I'm SSHing to my server from my desktop as I haven't actually got a
monitor on the server but when I do a sockstat I get the following
output regarding svn:

svuser    svnserve   846   3  tcp6   *:3690                *:*

When I try and do "telnet 127.0.0.1 3690" on the server I get...

telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused.
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

...and if I try and do "telnet 192.168.0.10 3690" from my desktop I get...

Connecting To 192.168.0.10...Could not open connection to the host, on port 3690
: Connect failed"

I'm not opposed to using SVN via SSH but I'd kind like to get a
vanilla SVN server going first. It's becoming an unusually steep
learning curve =o)
