Get as recent a version of the JDK as MIT IS&T support, and install the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength FOR THAT JDK. Make sure you get the JDK, and not just the JRE. Also make sure that the JDK is the FIRST java found in your path, and that you have the System environment variable JAVA_HOME pointing to that JDK. To install the JCE, simply backup %JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib/security/local_policy.jar and %JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib/security/US_export_policy.jar with the copies in the JCE zip file. For my windows jdk, the location was C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_29/jre/lib/security.

Subversion

Subversion on Ubuntu

\$ sudo apt-get install

Subversion on Windows

• Download Subversion from Collabnet. (You'll probably need to register).
• The 32 bit client is recommended, even if you have 64 bit windows... 'cos we'll be talking to Putty and Kerberos, and Putty is 32 bit only.
• Put Subversion in your path.

Kerberos

Moves does a WHOLE LOT of subversion activity. Unless you set yourself up for password-less authentication, you're gonna spend most of your life typing in your kerb username and password over and over again. Since you probably won't get an ssh private key installed on svn.mit.edu, you're gonna have to set yourself up with Kerberos. When we have Kerberos hooked up with svn, you'll only have to type in your username once per session. (A session lasts for about 10 hours). Sharing a production ssh key is not advisable (though it's been done).

Kerberos on Ubuntu (should work for Debian)

Type which kinit. If that doesn't return anything, type
\$ sudo su -
# apt-get install ssh-krb5 krb5-user krb4-config
try kinit, and type in your kerberos username and password. If that works, you're done.
If it doesn't, then add

# mv /etc/krb5.conf

Unless you have a private ssh key on
