I can confirm this bug, that's a long-known issue, I thought there was
already a bug open for that.
The problem is that access to the public WebDav folder is always done via the
guest Apache user, and I guess Apache defaults to mapping it to the 'nobody'
system user when creating new files. See
/usr/share/gnome-user-share/dav_user_2.2.conf
/usr/share/gnome-user-share/dav_groupfile
I'm really not familiar with Apache configuration, but there must be a way of
telling it to log in as the actual user, or at least to set file permissions to
this. We could for example use something like an include. ATM there's
AuthUserFile ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/user-share/passwd
which is used to set the password for the guest user to the value chosen by the
user.
Baptiste: what's the point of the information you requested?
libapache2-mod-dnssd is not installed on my box, but that doesn't prevent the
share from being advertised on the network, and anyway that's not related to
permissions AFAICS. 'ps -edf |grep apache2' returns no process, but I guess the
process is only started when the share is accessed.
