Crusoe description Binary package hint: davfs2 If the sysadmin set system wide options in /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf and she allows for unprivileged users to mount WebDAV resources then they will experience inconsistent results. Example: sysadmin@host:~$ echo "davfs2 davfs2/suid_file boolean true" | sudo debconf-set-selections -- sysadmin@host:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure davfs2 sysadmin@host:~$ sudo sh -c 'echo "http://webdav.cyberteams.com:8080/ /mnt davfs noauto,user 0 0" > /etc/fstab' user@host:~$ mount /mnt Please enter the username to authenticate with server http://webdav.cyberteams.com:8080 or hit enter for none.
