[Bug 1860] Re: fusermount requires fuse module kernel to be loaded, isn't done automagically

[Alex Muntada]

Have just installed sshfs (which requires fuse-utils) on a Dapper host
and on an Edgy laptop, so I could mount a directory from host to the
laptop through sshfs.

Tried a few times and it didn't work because I needed to add myself to
fuse group, so I did that. Then, tried again and fusermount said that I
had no permission for /dev/fuse, which was owned by root:root. So I
chgrp fuse /dev/fuse and (alas!) it works wonders.

In both cases (Dapper and Edgy) the fuse module got loaded automatically
(I did not perform any modprobe) but Edgy got the wrong permissions to
/dev/fuse (Dapper got it right).

Do you think thas this is related to the issue you're describing here or
it's a bug on Edgy?

Thanks!
