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?
