RE: user can't do a checkout of newly created repository

Do I have to setup anything in the db tables to allow a new user to access
the repository?

In the documentation online it says

>All of your SSH users need to be able to read and write to the repository.
>Put all the SSH users into a single group. Make the repository wholly owned
>by that group, and set the group permissions to read/write.

Does this mean simply;

$ chgrp -R svngroup repos1
$ chmod -R g+rw repos1

I have changed the perms to allow access by everyone and still I get the
Permission denied error as I mentioned in my previous email.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Larry
