I am trying to add a user to my SVN server that can only access one of about a dozen repositories I have set up. Here are the files that I think need changed and what I have set them to. No matter what I try with these files I am unable to see the results I am after. In the end I want this new user to be able to access repository #1 and not 2 or any others (as an example).
/svn/repository1/conf/passwd
[users]
user1 = user1pass
/svn/repository1/conf/svnserve.conf
[general]
anon-access = none
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd
authz-db = authz
/svn/repository1/conf/authz
# [groups]
# harry_and_sally = harry,sally
# [/foo/bar]
# harry = rw
# * =
# [repository:/baz/fuz]
# @harry_and_sally = rw
# * = r
[/]
user1 = rw
/etc/httpd/svnpasswds
This file lists several users I have set up with encrypted passwords. If I add user1 here through ssh the new user works flawlessly. The problem is that the user is able to access all repositories.
Does the /etc/ file hold the complete set of users while /var/svn/ files contain a subset for specific targeting? Editing anything in /var/svn/ has not seemed to make any difference but the /etc/ file gives to much power.
I have spent several hours trying different tutorials and editing these files. I would really appreciate some guidance. Thanks!

Solved. I had to add an authz file to /etc/httpd/.... and reference it properly from the svn conf file. The repository files don't seem to work in my case.
