That's what I thought.

Sure. Here it is (commented lines stripped):

[general]
anon-access = read
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd
authz-db = authz

And the stripped-down debugging authz I saw this with reads:

[groups]
us = nix
administrators = snort,snortrules,root

[/]
@us = rw
* =

[/network-admin]
@administrators = rw
* =

And here's a svn+ssh commit failing:

snortrules@loki:~/blah/network-admin$ svn info

Ah. The docs implied that this was overridden by authz. How *do* the two
interact? Does the anon-access/write-access specify a maximum permission,
which is then reduced by authz?

If so, how do I specify `this path should be writable only by particular
users with svn://'? (I'd like it to apply to svn+ssh, too, but I'd be happy
enough if svn+ssh was allowed to write *at all*. Right now with this
configuration it always seems to be classified as sort-of-
anonymous: it can read, but not write.)
