Can someone enlighten me on this...

When I uncomment the line in /etc/subversion/config store-auth-creds = no, and when I create a new repo, I see the following error:

svnadmin: /etc/subversion/config:37: Option Expected

I understand that that 37 line is pointing to the store-auth-creds = no option but what option does svnadmin expect now??

Kind of new in SVN.. =) and I'm using Ubuntu 9.1 for my SVN.

Either your svnadmin does not recognize store-auth-creds or you have messed up the config file as you edited it (a space character where it doesn't belong etc).
