Ryo, thanks for the tip. yoics seems like a very useful program. i
installed it, and looked at the httpd.conf file, but it is difficult for me
to parse which lines of code are necessary, and which are extraneous. Also,
yoics seems to use apache 2.2.x, whereas i use apache 2.0.x, and i'm not
sure that matters. i know that what i want to do is completely trivial, in
that anybody who's set up a file server using webDAV and apache must have
done this. i'm really just looking for the bits of code i must add to my
httpd.conf file and maybe a few things to do at the command prompt to set
permissions and stuff. again, any pointers would be greatly appreciated...
