+HOW TO CONNECT WITH A WEBDAV SERVER 
+on SLACKWARE LINUX 13.0
+
+In this HOWTO, the user is named "user"
+Amend as required for your choice of username.
+
+1. Login as root
+
+2. Define a davfs2 group and user:
+
+	# groupadd -g 230 davfs2
+	# useradd -u 230 -d /var/cache/davfs2 -g davfs2 davfs2
+
+3. If (and only if) you have a Slack64 install;
+	# export ARCH=x86_64
+   
+4. You may want to set the Package type that you will build:
+	# export PKGTYPE=txz
+
+5. Build and install your package:
+	# tar xvf  davfs2.tar.gz
+	# cd davfs2
+	# wget http://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/mirrors/nongnu.org/davfs2/davfs2-1.4.5.tar.gz
+	# ./davfs.SlackBuild
+	# installpkg /tmp/davfs2-1.4.5-x86_64-1_SBo.txz
+
+6. Add the user if not already defined. My user shall be called user, so:
+
+	# adduser user
+   
+   Read the Slackbook for more details on adduser, choose default settings BUT:
+   with the default group list add also davfs2:
+
+	Press ENTER to continue without adding any additional groups
+	Or press the UP arrow to add/select/edit additional groups
+	:  audio cdrom floppy plugdev video power netdev davfs2
+
+7. Edit /etc/fstab with the following line:
+	WEBDAV_SERVER_URL		mount_point		davfs	noauto,user	0	0
+	
+	For example:
+	https://example.org/user	/home/user/mnt/dav   	davfs   noauto,user	0	0
+
+8. logout
+
+9. Login again as your davfs user ("user" in my case).
+
+10. 	$ mkdir -p $HOME/.davfs2/certs/private/ $HOME/mnt/dav
+
+11. Move the certificate to $HOME/davfs2/certs/private and restrict the permission to rw-------:
+    For example:
+
+	$ mv CERTIFICATE.pfx	$HOME/.davfs2/certs/private/
+	$ chmod 600 $HOME/.davfs2/certs/private/CERIFICATE.pfx
+
+12. Optionally: Switch user to root and copy the system configuration file. 
+    Then change ownership to the davfs user and exit back to the davfs user. There 
+    are a lot of interesting comments in these files that might be helpful.
+
+	$ su -
+	# cp /etc/davfs2/davfs2.conf ~user/.davfs2/
+	# cp /etc/davfs2/secrets ~user/.davfs2/
+	# chown -R user:users ~user/.davfs2/
+	# exit
+
+13. Edit $HOME/.davfs2/davfs2.conf with the following line:
+
+	clientcert	~/.davfs2/certs/private/CERTIFICATE.pfx
+
+   Read: 
+
+	$ man davfs2.conf 
+
+   for all the details and options. Tests have shown that you do not need more
+   than the line above, but you may want to set many other interesting 
+   parameters.
+
+14. Edit $HOME/.davfs2/secrets with the following 2 lines:
+
+	https://example.org/user	username	password
+	CERTIFICATE.pfx			passphrase
+
+    passphrase is the password for the PFX certificate
+
+15. Restrict permssion for $HOME/.davfs2/secrets to rw-------:
+
+ 	$ chmod 600 $HOME/.davfs2/secrets
+
+16. Mount the davfs service on $HOME/mnt/dav 
+
+	$ mount https://example.org/user
+
+    You should be able to see your WEBDAV server on $HOME/mnt/user 
+
+17. When you would like to disconnect:
+
+	$ umount $HOME/mnt/dav
+
+    You should get a similar response (the pid number is random):
+
+	/sbin/umount.davfs: waiting while mount.davfs (pid 5700) synchronizes the cache .. OK
