davfs2-0.2.8-2mdv2008.1.x86_64.rpm

Changes in version 0.2.7 (including 0.2.6 and 0.2.5):

- The symbolic link in /sbin will be created by make install

- Better interoperation with MS IIS

- New option "mountanyway", to allow mounting even if the server
  is momentarily unreachable

- Save open files and release locks when closing

- Handle URLs with and without trailing slash


Changes in version 0.2.4:

- davfs2 now cames with a manpage.

- davfs2 now comes without libneon and expat, as your distribution
  usually will provide appropriate packages.

- mount.davfs is run setuid by default to allow non-root users
  mounting of WebDAV resources. The daemon process is run with
  the permissions of the mounting user. So avoid mounting as root
  to minimize risks that allways come with daemons connected to
  the internet.

- There is strict control of user mounts: to mount a davfs2-filesystem
  a user must be member of group users and there must be an entry in
  /etc/fstab.

- A mounted dafvs2-filesystem belongs to the mounting user and is only
  readable and writeable by this users. There is no way to change
  file permissions and ownership. Maybe this will be changed in future
  versions (but with security in mind).

- pid files have moved to /var/run/mount.davfs

- There are no more username and password options. Credentials for
  the WebDAV server as well as for the (optional) proxy will be asked
  interactively when mounting. You may also store them in a secrets
  file that is readable and writeable by the owning user only.
