SVN failing to create SASL context
Trying to execute the command
svn log svn://[my server address]/path/to/repository
nets me the following:
svn: E170001: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn://[my server address]/path/to/repository'
svn: E170001: Could not create SASL context: generic failure
Some quick googling reveals a possible solution:
sudo port activate cyrus-sasl2 @2.1.23_3+kerberos
However, before I attempt this, I would like to know a couple things.
- What exactly is going on?
- What does this command do? How does it fix the problem?
EDIT: I am not using SASL, nor do I wish to. I don't actually have Cyrus SASL installed.

I believe this is a known issue with these particular versions of the cyrus-sasl2 libraries. Try updating to a newer version of the libraries and/or downgrade to an older version if the latest does not resolve your issue.
I found the following issues that were raised regarding this issue in both a Fedora bug tracker as well as a Debian one.
- subversion: not working at all SASL context error
- Bug 888775 - svn: E170001: Could not create SASL context: generic failure

Does SVN run through cyrus-sasl2 regardless? Because I have SASL disabled on the server....

@MirroredFate - read the SASL section of the manual. Your server is the one advertising this: svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.svnserve.html

It says to activate SASL you have to have the lineuse-sasl = true, which I have commented out.... The only security I have the server configured to use is theCRAM-MD5.... which is why I am so confused....
