Change log index
This is the first release. As such, this is not a change log but a brief summary of what is known to work and issues.

Enhancements

Authentication

You use the normal Apache directive to force authentication for a given directory


        dav aclfs
        DAVUFSmapdir /var/www/html/dav tmp
-->    AuthType Basic
-->    AuthName "Restricted Files"
        require valid-user

This is passed to aclfsd and validated using PAM.

Packaging

dav_ufs is properly package for Apache 2.0 as found on Red-Hat and Fedora core 1. You must edit the following files (after copying the supplied sample).

Requires virtualfs-aclfs

The Apache module talks to the aclfsd daemon, part of the virtualfs-aclfs package. Version 1.43 is needed.

Bug fixes

No type information

For now, when previewing a directory, you do not get any file information for files. I don't know how this works. While webdav browsers still work, they could work better I guess using mime types. Anyone knows how this works in apache.
