    Hi Sangamesh

    I see you have worked with subversion and you might have complied it.  Can you take a quick look at my issue?


    When I try to create a repo as non-root it always fails.

    oslevel -s
    7200-05-03-2148

    HOST{root}[/]# rpm -qa |grep -i subversion
    subversion-1.10.8-1.ppc

    $ /opt/freeware/bin/svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /home/XXXX/svn
    svnadmin: E000013: Repository creation failed
    svnadmin: E000013: Could not create top-level directory
    svnadmin: E000013: Can't create directory '/home/XXXX/svn': The file access permissions do not allow the specified action.


    I'm able to create a repo as non-root if I set the sticky bit to  chmod u+s  /opt/freeware/bin/svnadmin_64 

    here is the repo
    drwxr-xr-x    6 root     StaffUni        256 Apr 05 15:19 svn

    Is this is a bug or am I missing something.
    Vinny
