Package: sshfs Version: 1.7-2.1 Severity: normal According to the sshfs documentation:
---- quote from /usr/share/doc/sshfs/README ---------------------------- Once sshfs is installed (see next section) running it is very simple: sshfs hostname: mountpoint Note, that it's recommended to run it as user, not as root. For this to work the mountpoint must be owned by the user. [...] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ and the sshfs FAQ doesn't say much more. But under Debian, this is not sufficient: the user also needs to be in group fuse, otherwise one gets the following error: fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied I think that sshfs should come with a README.Debian file saying this kind of things. (Note: even though /dev/fuse is readable only by user root and group fuse, needing to add the user to group fuse is not obvious, as sshfs could be sgid fuse or execute a program that is sgid fuse to avoid this step.) -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages sshfs depends on: ii fuse-utils 2.7.2-1 Filesystem in USErspace (utilities ii libc6 2.7-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfuse2 2.7.2-1 Filesystem in USErspace library ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:4.7p1-4 secure shell client, an rlogin/rsh sshfs recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
