I don't know if gnome-keyring or kwallet are available in Red Hat Linux 5.8, and whether or not support for these features was compiled into Subversion by the Red Hat packagers. Somebody else on this list may know. Or you might want to ask Red Hat directly. If Red Hat 5.8 doesn't ship Subversion with gnome-keyring or kwallet support, you'll have to type the password or ask your admin to upgrade to a newer version of Red Hat or use a different Liunx distribution. Or you might find a build of Subversion for your Red Hat system that has these features enabled -- a good starting point for your search would be http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html All we can do is provide these features. If packagers you obtain Subversion from disable these features or ship outdated versions, the Subversion project cannot help you.
