svnserve and authorization problems

I've just install subversion 1.3.

I'm trying to let working the svnserve with authorization.
(context is to use subversion to version the /home directories of my
linuxhome server)

How to configure svn to keep privacy of each users ?

I've tried (in conf.authz):
"
[/]
* = 'r'

[/linuxhome/home/mi]
mi = 'rw'
vi = ''
# * =

[/linuxhome/home/wi]
wi = 'rw'
mi = ''
"

The "write" is working fine. Not possibilities to commit modifications on
others home dirs.

BUT

The read is not working.
user "mi" is able to checkout "/linuxhome/home/wi" ?????
and "wi" is able to checkout "/linuxhome/home/mi" ???
Why ???
What's I've missed ?

PS: concerning the first line ('/' as 'r' for everyone), I've saw that's
mandatory.

Thanks.

Thanks Lieven.

The solution to my problem was to use a config like you suggest

AND

to recompile apr with "urandom" and subversion.
(I'm on a gentoo syustem)

Thanks.

William, 

drop the '' characters. If you use mi = '', subversion fails to recognize 
this as the 'remove all access rights for this user' syntax, and ignores it.

This will work:
[/]
* = r
 
[/linuxhome/home/mi]
mi = rw
vi = 
# * =

[/linuxhome/home/wi]
wi = rw
mi = 

regards,

Lieven.
