Hello,

That's good idea. I'll work on that.

Thanks.

you may also use "password" instead of "pass"

"G" and "U" are not very descriptive. An alternative could be
"uid=xxx" and "gid=xxx" but it's not that nice because the other
filesystem having similar options use real ids (ie numbers).

another thing you may consider adding is the handling of
"credential=<file>". Where <file> contains something like:
username = foo
password = bar


FYI I also include below the various patches applied in mandrake davfs
package (but beware, i have not done them, and this may be
wrong/stupid/ugly/... :)

Thanks for your patches.

I'd love to wait till you are done. :-)

Have a nice day.
