I've installed a subversion server in my Ubuntu AMI. I want to access it via svn+ssh with different users (not 'ubuntu' default user). So, I can create different user accounts with 'useradd', but I'm worried about security.

I've used the 'ubuntu' user for other dev tasks, and I only need different users for subversion. Is 'useradd' the safer way? In other words: What's the safer method to provide different users commit access to my subversion repository in an Ubuntu EC2 AMI?

Many thanks in advance, and best regards

How do you serve subversion? Apache and Webdav or svnserve? Also voting to migrate to serverfaultCharlesB
svnserve, but I could use Apache too. My decision. Should I do something to migrate the question to serverfault?Jorge Arévalo
