svn: /etc/subversion/servers:6: Section header expected

I have to add proxy in the `/etc/subversion/servers` file. ``` http-proxy-host=web-proxy.xxx.xxx.com http-proxy-port=8080 ``` After adding the proxy info I am getting the above error while executing the `svn` command. Now the error message clearly indicates line number 6 which is the proxy host. If I comment that line then svn commands starts working. Now after googling several forums I found that I have to put the info `"under [global] section and not at file's head"` - So where is the [global] section in unix file system ? Is it the `config` file ? - Is there any other way to resolve this problem ?
