SVN doesn't ask for authentication on checkin/checkout

Question

I have installed SVN on a CENTOS 5 server running WHM/cPanel.

The SVN URL works fine and asks for a password as expected. However when running the svn checkout command or commit command from my local machine authentication is not requested thus allowing anyone to access the SVN repo.

My svn.conf is as follows:

<Location /repos> DAV svn SVNPath /home/<user>/repo Require valid-user AuthType Basic AuthName "DEV REPO" AuthUserFile /etc/svn-auth-conf </Location> 

I used htpasswd to create a user in the file /etc/svn-auth-conf. I then used avnadmin to create a repo at /home//repo and chmod'd and chown'd it to the

Thanks.
