I am on current edgy and just experienced the same situation.
([EMAIL PROTECTED]:~)% mount /media/myfiles
/sbin/mount.davfs: Program is not setuid root.
/usr/share/doc/davfs2/README.Debian states:
davfs2 for Debian
------------------
Allowing a normal user to mount webdav resources
------------------------------------------------
If you want to allow non-root users to mount a davfs file system, you have to
set a few things:
- The suid bit for the corresponding binary:
# chmod u+s /usr/lib/mount.davfs-<your kernel version>
- Add to the group 'users' all the users that you want to mount dav file
systems:
# addgroup <username> users
- Add the following line in the /etc/fstab file with the option 'users'
http://webdav.site.com/path /mnt davfs rw,users,noauto 0 0
which is fine, but "chmod u+s /usr/lib/mount.davfs-<your kernel
version>" is not correct. Instead, /sbin/mount.davfs2 should be setuid
root.
