Bug 188197 – net-fs/davfs2-1.2.2 dont use group users and does not allow mounting in nobody's home

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Thomas Jäger 2007-08-09 05:09:33 UTC]

When updating net-fs/davfs2-1.1.4 to net-fs/davfs2-1.2.2 the default configuration expects a user davfs2 and group davfs2 is existing. The ebuild isnt creating this user/group.

After changing the configuration /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf to 

# General Options
# ---------------
dav_user        root            # system wide config file only
dav_group       users            # system wide config file only

I'm able to mount for example the /etc/fstab entry

# network drives
https://mediacenter.gmx.net  /mnt/gmx   davfs   noauto,user     0 0

with the root user.
When trying to mount this network share with an normal user (belonging to group users) i got 

[user] mount /mnt/gmx
/sbin/mount.davfs: / is the home directory of user nobody.
You can't mount into another users home directory

(see bug report 156591)



Reproducible: Always
