In installed xinet.d service file we see following: user = svn group = svnusers But this group and user is only is only created when emerge --config subversion is called, which is normally (when using subversion as client) not called/needed. In turn we have in xinetd log: an 29 10:26:48 radius-brest xinetd[4401]: Unknown user: svn [file=/etc/xinetd.d/svnserve] [line=5] Jan 29 10:26:48 radius-brest xinetd[4401]: Error parsing attribute user - DISABLING SERVICE [file=/etc/xinetd.d/svnserve] [line=5] Jan 29 10:26:48 radius-brest xinetd[4401]: Unknown group: svnusers [file=/etc/xinetd.d/svnserve] [line=6] Jan 29 10:26:48 radius-brest xinetd[4401]: Error parsing attribute group - DISABLING SERVICE [file=/etc/xinetd.d/svnserve] [line=6] So, I propose to install this file only if --config called. Reproducible: Always
