OSS Web-based File Management?

breadiu asks: "I work for a department at a university, and we'd love to offer students some type of web-accessible file storage, but, like most educational institutions, money is tight. There are some great closed source solutions out there like Xythos' Digital Locker Suite, but those cost. I've had trouble finding a really well put together open source solution. I've taken a look at Slide and even Zope, but neither really match up to Xythos' offerings. What have others done to provide centralized file storage/management? Is there anything OSS that offers WebDAV, Apache support, BSD/Linux support and Active Directory-LDAP authentication with support for Windows and Mac clients?"

    Alas, I told my boss "I have my priorities straight, so I need to stay home and feel sorry for the dead people in London" but he said something about how vacation time has to be approved a week in advance.

    Don't forget the middle-class families in downtown Baghdad, who used to have running water, electricity and police protection, but now exchanged these for "freedom", along with the lives of their aunties and and baby sisters.
