title: SVN commit authentication failure
body: <p><em>Note: I have read through the last 150 svn commit error questions and none of the answers solved my problem.</em></p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to set up a simple svn server from which I can checkout and to which I can commit files.</p>
  
  <p>conf/svnserv.conf</p>
  
  <pre><code>[global]
  anon-access = none
  auth-access = rw
  password-db = passwd
  #authz-db = authz
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>conf/passwd</p>
  
  <pre><code>[users]
  myuser = password
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>svn checkout from another machine works fine:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svn co svn://138.25.25.42:3690 test --username myuser --password password
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>then I added a local file within my local repository copy</p>
  
  <pre><code>echo "content" &gt; testfile
  svn add testfile
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but when I now try to commit I get an Authentication/Authorization (german: Autorisierung) error (all 3 the same)</p>
  
  <pre><code>svn ci --username myuser --password password -m "lala"
  svn ci . --username myuser --password password -m "lala"
  svn ci test --username myuser --password password -m "lala"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>looking at the transmissions with wireshark it looks like my username and password is ignored (?)</p>

  <p>Any help getting the commits working would be greatly appreciated.</p>
  
  <p><strong>edit:</strong> strangely, an anonymous checkout works as well; so the configuration files seem to be ignored, I just can not see why.</p>
