Package: davfs2
Version: 1.4.5-1
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Hi,

I just started to use davfs2 with the following line in my /etc/fstab:

https://myremoteserver/home/user/ /media/mount_point davfs user,noauto 0 0

but when I try to mount the device as a normal user the following error is 
displayed:

/sbin/mount.davfs: program is not setuid root

It can be solved by setting the SUID bit with

chmod u+s /usr/sbin/mount.davfs (/sbin/mount.davfs is a symbolic link)

and adding the current user to the davfs2 group.

Maybe it would be useful to add the SUID bit by default and run a
postinst script that asks to add the normal user(s) to davfs2 group.

What do you think?

Thanks.

Stefano,
        Please, try running dpkg-reconfigure davfs2. If this doesn't fix the 
problem, 
fell free to reopen the bug.

cheers, luciano
