Package: davfs2 Version: 1.6.1-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream When I installed davfs2, a dialog box said that it needed to be setuid to allow non-root users to mount a davfs file system. Moreover, mount.davfs also needs an entry in /etc/fstab, otherwise one gets an error "no entry for ... found in /etc/fstab".
It should be fixed to make these things unneeded. As a comparison, sshfs doesn't need all that. I don't see what could be different between sshfs and davfs2 concerning permissions (e.g. both are based on FUSE). -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.17.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages davfs2 depends on: ii adduser 3.121 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.79 ii libc6 2.33-7 ii libneon27 0.32.2-1 davfs2 recommends no packages. davfs2 suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/davfs2/secrets [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/davfs2/secrets' -- debconf information: davfs2/user_name: davfs2 * davfs2/suid_file: true davfs2/new_user: true davfs2/group_name: davfs2 davfs2/new_group: true davfs2/non_root_users_confimed: -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
