... some minutes (hours) later ...

Really helpful ! I didn't find this howto during my previous research on 
the Ubuntu community wiki.

I enable the three mods :
dav_fs
auth_digest
authn_file

changed the user/group to the webdav : www-data:www-data

In the virtualhost, I replaced the section about the webdav by the one 
given in the howto

	<Location /webdav/>
         Dav On
         AuthType Digest
         AuthName "webdav"
         AuthDigestDomain /webdav/
         AuthDigestProvider file
         AuthUserFile /home/www/www/.htdigest
         Require valid-user
	</Location>

Recreating the password file :
htdigest -c /home/www/www/.htdigest webdav clement

Again, the same issue :
access.log :

127.0.0.1 - - [20/May/2010:18:48:52 +0200] "OPTIONS /webdav/ HTTP/1.1" 
401 881 "-" "cadaver/0.23.3 neon/0.29.0"
127.0.0.1 - clement [20/May/2010:18:49:02 +0200] "OPTIONS /webdav/ 
HTTP/1.1" 401 796 "-" "cadaver/0.23.3 neon/0.29.0"

error.log :

[Thu May 20 18:49:02 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] GROUP: clement not 
in required group(s).

So, still not working ... I really don't understand what's the problem.
