[general]
anon-access = read
auth-access = write
realm = My First Repository
password-db = passwd

- repository can be accessed using the following url - svn+ssh://user@remote.host/myrepo/
This means that the subversion client will first ssh to remote.host, where the user can login using the system password, and then will start the subversion server in tunnel mode as svnserve -t -r /home/user/repo/.
