SVN - Adding a user

A long time ago I setup SVN on my remote server. I connect to it locally from eclipse using 

svn+ssh://kris@hostname:22/srv/svn/repo

I now need to add another user and I can't for the life of me work out how to do it. I can't even find where the current user account "kris" is located.

I am using svn, version 1.6.11 (r934486) compiled May 14 2012, 05:36:26 http://subversion.tigris.org/

Speaking with my Linux guru he lead me to the solution.

I am not using SVN's authentication. I am using linux authentication so the steps are

Create a new linux user. then add them to a group that has access to the single repository

useradd username

passwd password

groupadd groupname

vi /etc/group look for groupname add username to that line chgrp -R groupname /repoLocation chmod -R g+w /repoLocation

problem solved
