Bill,
I tried webdav on 9.1 and had problems with Apache2 and webdav; I had
better luck with Apache1.3. Google a bit and you'll see that Windows XP
has a broken webdav implementation in its Explorer such that it can't
authenticate. I found a few hacks on the web but none of them worked for
me. If your users are Windows users, you might have problems.
Anyway, getting davfs is as easy as urpmi davfs. You also have to set up
permissions and turn on webdav in Apache for the directory in question.
It can be as simple as
<Location /calendars>
DAV On
AuthType Basic
AuthName "WebDAV Calendars"
AuthUserFile /var/www/calusers
<LimitExcept GET HEAD OPTIONS>
Require valid-user
</LimitExcept>
</Location>
The best tutorials I found for setting up webdav were these:
