authentication challenge

Greetings all...

I am having trouble getting subversion to challenge the user to authenticate when performing any operations. 

Subversion is running on plain vanilla binary install of FedoraCore 1. 

I am running svnserve as the server and have created the conf file and user list as describe in the svnbook. (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/html-chunk/ch06s03.html) 

I have done my client testing from both the SVN command line and with the TortoiseSVN client on Windows.

What I am expecting is to be challenged for a password whenever I attempt to access the repository. 

I have tried a number of combinations but thus far I have not been challenged for any of the operations I request.

I am including the details of the svnserve.conf and user file along with the directory and process listings to assist in figuring out what I am missing.

Bzzzzt, thanks for playing!  :-)

0.32.1 is nearly 5 months old.  The book documents version 1.0.  

svn 0.32.1 doesn't even have this feature.
