I just went through setting up davfs2 on Arch and it did not create the davfs2 group for me. I also had to edit the config to make it use the group, once I created it, because it was defaulting to network. I was getting the following error when trying to mount it: user <username> must be member of group network Please feel free to adjust my comment if need be. :) Signed-off-by: Seth <[email protected]>

| **If the davfs2 group doesn't exist after installing the package, you may need to create it yourself and, possibly, adjust the davfs config file to use the group after you've created it. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
A note box and bold is perhaps a bit much.

Does ** make it bold? I thought that was making it a comment box, my bad. |
