Here's what worked:  I put all of the Auth directives in a Directory tag

<Directory /svn>
  #how to authenticate a user
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Restricted Files"
  AuthUserFile /etc/site-passwd
  #Only authenticated users may have access
  Require valid-user brownec
</Directory>
  
I could only get the site to authenticate when I had my name listed in
the valid-user line.
Otherwise, I get "unknown require directive" messages in my error log.

I was under the impression that apache looked in the location block
before the directory block.

Thanks.
