[SOLVED] Subversion, xinetd, and "Malformed network data"

Hi,

I currently have a Subversion 1.5.2 server running through svnserve + xinetd. When I attempt to connect to my subversion server, however, I get:

svn: Malformed network data

Below is the contents of my xinetd config for subversion:

service svn
{
    flags           = REUSE
    socket_type     = stream
    wait            = no
    user            = svn
    group           = svn_group
    server          = /usr/bin/svnserve
    server_args     = -i -r /srv/svn/repo
    log_on_failure  += USERID
    disable         = no
}

This is located in the file: /etc/xinetd.d/svn

I run the following command only to find that it fails:

$ svn ls svn://localhost/myrepository
svn: Malformed network data

I've checked my xinetd log, however I see no failure. I can even put a completely bogus repository URL into SVN and it'll still give the same error:

$ svn ls svn://localhost/iosudohslkj2223oijosdijfaksjdlfkj
svn: Malformed network data

Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Re: [SOLVED] Subversion, xinetd, and "Malformed network data"

I found out via telnet that one of my directories didn't have execute permission, so it couldn't step into the child directories.
