it's surprising to see that it is possible to have multiple root_parents
as in

[general]
root_parents = /var/svn/disi: svn,
                 /var/svn/stud: svn

but still unable to define corresponding multiple access (authz) files 
to those roots !?
that's why I thought that I missunderstood and misconfigured my 
viewvc.conf file.
but if I correctly understand you , having multiple authzfile 
corresponding to each root_parents  is not possible ?

Alternatively, as you suggested, I tried to use a single authz file for 
both roots, but now I get no view of any repository :-( , perhaps, I 
missconfigure the concat authz file
here is the situation, I have 2 svn repo roots:
/var/svn/staff
/var/svn/stud

below /var/svn/staff there's a  "AuthzSVNAccessFile" (apache 
terminology) and dozens of repos like /var/svn/staff/rep1 , 
/var/svn/staff/rep2 etc ...
Identically for /var/svn/stud, /var/svn/stud/root_authz, 
/var/svn/stud/rep1 /var/svn/stud/rep2 ...

My  /var/svn/super_root_authz pointed by
[authz-svnauthz]
authzfile = /var/svn/super_root_authz

contains repo definitions like that

[staff/rep1:/]
user1 = rw

[staff/rep2:/]
user2 = rw

[stud/rep1:/]
user1 = rw
...
But maybe I missconfigured that super_root_authz ?

thanks for your help
