thing is it probably does exist on your system - no system building required

I spent a while trying to figure out all this webdav stuff

turned out all I needed to do is configure 
<Location /webdav>
 Dav On
</Location>

in apache conf

then access localhost/webdav/ using a dav client 
I used the java DAVExplorer - but M$ Office can use DAV which may be readily 
available to you.

as I remember it the password required is based on the underlying filesystem 
permissions - so user/group should be OK - But I guess Paul was hinting at a 
more advanced way of doing this (eg ssl isn't required but is an easy extra 
layer of security)

- this solution should work with RH out of the box (with a few config 
additions)
