If the access of your users is currently implemented by them being independent system users (each with a valid UID/GID, home directory, etc.), then you might want to take a look at WebRFM from: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Horizon/7772/webrfm.html WebRFM provides server-side WebDAV support (and it works with the IE 5 Web Folders) through a CGI program that is being run with the UID/GID of the accessing user (so OS-based access control, quota limits, etc., are being imposed). As far as I know, this is the only (practical and existing) way to add WebDAV support to Apache in a way that would merge into an OS-based security framework. Yoram
