Hi there,

I setup the svn and SVN Manager on a Linux Debian Lenny Distribution.
I can login to SVN Manager.
I created a new admin user.
I can login with this admin and create new user and repositories.
I can also set the user privileges for the admin user (not sure if I have to, since he is the owner already) and other users
But when I try to access the repository via a SVN client like cornerstone it gives me an access forbidden error.

When I set for a repository under user previleges the * with read privileges I can checkout and commit all the data from a repository though.

I looked in the password file and the users I created are in there and I looked in the access file and the users are in there as well for a according repository.

Any ideas why the user get a 403 access forbidden if I don't grant general read privileges? Because I don't want of course anyone except actual users to read the svn repositories.

Thanks,
Stephan
