The davfs2 package introduced new or modified debconf templates. This is the perfect moment for a review to help the package maintainer following the general suggested writing style and track down typos and errors in the use of English language. If someone wants to pick up this review, please answer to this mail, in the mailing list, with an [ITR] (Intent To Review) label. The templates file is attached. To propose the file you reviewed for peer review, please send a [RFR] (Request For Review) mail with the reviewed file attached...then a few days later, when no more contributions come, a summary mail with a [LCFC] (Last Chance For Comments) label. Finally, after no more comments coming to the LCFC mail, you can send the reviewed templates file as a bug report against the package. Then, please notify the list with a last mail using a [BTS] label with the bug number. Helping the package maintainer to deal with induced translation updates at that momebt will be nice. If you're not comfortable with that part of the process, please hand it off to a translator. --

_Description: Do you want to allow non-root users mount WebDAV resources?

the mounting user is root, the mount.davfs daemon will run as the following declared user.

you.
Template: davfs2/new_user

https://webdav.site.com/path /mnt davfs rw,users,noauto 0 0

Description: mount a WebDAV resource as a regular file system
DAVFS2 is a Linux file system driver that allows you to mount a WebDAV
resource as a regular file system. It allows files in a remote Web resource
to be edited using standard applications that interact with the file system
(e.g. text editors). It uses coda for file system operations and the neon
library for WebDAV access. It supports SSL and proxy servers. The code is
based on uservfs (uservfs.sf.net).
