	Set Access Permission on SVN repositories. It requires [svnserve] is running.
[1]	For example, Set Access Permission to [/var/svn/repos/project] repository.

[root@dlp ~]#

vi /var/svn/repos/project/conf/svnserve.conf

# line 9: add (prohibit anonymous access)

[general]

anon-access = none

# line 28: uncomment

password-db = passwd

# line 37: uncomment

authz-db = authz

[root@dlp ~]#

vi /var/svn/repos/project/conf/passwd

# set username and password for this repository

[users]

redhat = password
cent = password
fedora = password

[root@dlp ~]#

vi /var/svn/repos/project/conf/authz

# set groups and users

[groups]

developer = redhat,cent

# allow read/write on SVN document-root for developer group

[/]
@developer = rw

# allow read on [trunk] folder for fedora user

[/trunk]
fedora = r

[2]	Verify settings to access via SVN to the repository from any remote Hosts.

svn --username cent list svn://dlp.srv.world/repos/project

Authentication realm: <svn://dlp.srv.world:3690> 9444b7fa-df28-4653-9e56-f5bc2b885f75
Password for 'cent': ********   # password you set on [1]

ATTENTION!  Your password for authentication realm:

   <svn://dlp.srv.world:3690> 9444b7fa-df28-4653-9e56-f5bc2b885f75

can only be stored to disk unencrypted!  You are advised to configure
your system so that Subversion can store passwords encrypted, if
possible.  See the documentation for details.

You can avoid future appearances of this warning by setting the value
of the 'store-plaintext-passwords' option to either 'yes' or 'no' in
'/home/cent/.subversion/servers'.
