All protocols except 'ext' and 'gserver' send the root during authentication, for precisely this reason (and gserver only for historical reasons). > I thought that the "readers" and "writers" file was for authorization.

In many (most, probably) cases you don't want all the users of a system to be able to log onto the repository. The passwd file is the most obvious way to achieve this.
