I have installed mount.davfs2 on my Kubuntu Linux box.  It works
perfectly, as long as root mounts the filesystems.
I want simple users to be able to mount some WebDAV filesystems, which are
already described on /etc/davfs/secrets
How can this be done?
Bye the way, mount.davfs2 has the suid bit on.

There is no answer at this time.

Hi,

try adding a line to your /etc/fstab file with the following:
<url of the webdav resource>  <mount point>  davfs  user,rw 0 0

the user will allow users other that root to mount the resource. The
users will then be able to mount the resource with the following
command:
mount <mount point>
