Authorization Failed on commit from network machine

I'm setting up Subversion 1.5.4 on a Suse 10.2 machine using svnserve.
I've started svnserve with: svnserve --daemon --root /var/svn/webi

I've loaded a project and can checkout and commit while on the local
(repository) machine. Oddly, I have never been asked for a login/password
while committing even when I have the auth-access set to write. I'm not
really concerned about using a login for write commands, but...

From a network machine, I am able to checkout but when I try to commit, I
always get "Authorization Failed". It doesn't matter whether I have the
password stuff setup on the repository machine or not. I have never been
prompted for a login/password on either the repository or network machine,
at anytime

I've looked the the .subversion/auth directories on both machines for my
users and root but have not found any files in the svn.simple directory.

When I'm using the password setup, my svnserve.conf file is:
[general]
anon-access = none (same results if this was 'read')
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd

My passwd file is:
[users]
arnettd = mypass

The svn command on the network machine seems to be using svnserve on the
repository machine because if I stop 'svnserve', the svn command on the
network machine fails with a message indicating that it could not connect
to the repository machine.

As I mentioned, I don't need to use the login/passwords but I do need to
be able to commit from the network machine.

I imagine that this is a basic config problem but I've run out of ideas.

Thanks
Don
