Subject: [gentoo-user] web_dav as samba replacement for file-sharing
Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2006 05:47:57

1 I'm wondering if anyone here has been able to enable web_dav to become a
2 full fledged replacement for samba. Samba is fine, don't get me wrong,
3 but it just sucks when it's across WANs.
4
5 My current problem lies with figuring out how to enable some sort of
6 privilege separation.
7
8 Current implementation of web_dav uses htaccess/htpasswd files and all
9 directories are/needs to be writeable by the apache user(nobody/apache).
10 There doesn't seem to be a bridge to enable eg:
11
12 users from DeptA - read/write to dept_A_folder and dept_B_folder
13 users from DeptB - Read only to dept_A_folder and read/write to
14 dept_B_folder
15
16 something along those lines.
17
18 The other thing I need to understand also is, does web_dav work with old
19 Win98 systems?
20
21 Also, there has to be proper means for changing passwords.(either
22 htaccess/htpasswd or mysql backend)
