never use useradd, its a backend tool that should only be used by
frontends ... if you want to add users via commandline you should use
adduser which has preconfigured defaults for its internal usaeradd call
(and adds the user to the ddefault ubuntu groups)

right, the users that should have access to ltspfs devices need to be in
the fuse group. (here you should as well use adduser, it makes no typos
while adding stuff to /etc/group or passwd ;) )
