svn commit failed: permission denied

Adding         trunk/app
Adding         trunk/app/index.php
Transmitting file data .svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Can't create directory '/x/svn/gnarc/db/transactions/1-1.txn':
Permission denied
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn:    '/x/home/ettinger/projects/gnarc/svn-commit.2.tmp'


I did the svnadmin create as root, and am using the default configuration
and was able to checkout the project via ssh with: ssh+svn, but now when I
go to commit my changes I get permission denied errors.

I'm assuming this is because I did the import as root, but what happens when
other system users also commit, does everyone need read/write access to the
repository?

Ok, looks like a simple
$chown -R users /path/to/repo
$chmod -R 775 /path/to/repo

fixed the problem.

It depends on your access method.  If you're using HTTP using apache, 
then your apache user will need access to those files.  Reading this is 
a good place to start:
