RE: Problem with SVN & Windows

Norbert,

I don't really understand what you're trying to do in the authz file,
so let's try to see what's going wrong there.

You're using svnserve, so that means you have one authz per repository.
The authz file contains a section per folder in your repository for
which you want to specify the access rights.

The correct syntax would be ( example access rights )

[groups]
theMasters = user1
admins = admin1, admin2

[/] # <- root folder of your repository
* = r
@admins = rw

[/da] # da subfolder in your repository
@theMasters = rw

If you want to specify access per folders with the authz file, put this in
your svnserve.conf:

anon-access = none
auth-access = write

You cannot use anonymous access when using authz! You have to give users
read rights on the root of your repository of you want to allow them write
access somewhere deeper in the repository ( bug in svnserve 1.3 )!

Hope this makes thing a litte bit more clear,

Lieven.
