Authroization Question

Hi,
 
I'm new to SVN (actually I'm using TSVN under XP).  I installed the service
for Windows and had trouble exporting files from the repository.
 
With some help I discovered I needed to change my svnserve.conf file but I
am yet to understand why.  I've been told to ask on this group.
 
[general]
# anon-access = read
# auth-access = write
anon-access = none
auth-access = write

The commented lines is what I had - the uncommented is what I've got (and
works).
 
I don't understand why, can someone please explain ?
 
Malcolm Smith

That doesn't answer the question though.  In my case using 'anon-access =
none' allowed me to checkout whereas 'anon-access = read' did not - even
though I was authorized (I had to enter my user/password details).

To know what they are, you may refer to the documentation available here (it
is a single URL but my mail editor displayed it as two separate lines),

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.svnserve.html#svn.se
rverconfig.svnserve.auth
