A few options to consider: + - Make the file system mount automatically using fstab. + - Use the guid and uid parameters on fstab to set group ownership and then add + users you'd like to give todo.txt access to instead of relying on the user + who mounts the webdav. + - Don't forget the 'exec' parameter.
