My boss recently was having trouble mounting WebDAV shares on his iBook (running Tiger 10.4.3) - it had been working fine, but just stopped working for no apparent reason, giving a ‘-50′ popup error. Sniffing traffic on the network showed the machine wasn’t sending out any https requests… there were however some messages in the system logs (UNIX core to the rescue!), and to cut a long story short, a quick ‘Repair Permissions’ from disk utility fixed it. Still a bit uneasy about why this happened in the first place though.
