Package: sshfs
Version: 2.1-1
Severity: important
I installed sshfs and added myself to the group "fuse." After logging in
and out, I tried to connect to a remote host and received the error message:
> fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied
I managed to get this working by modifying the group of the /dev/fuse device
# chmod root.fuse /dev/fuse
And was able to connect.
/usr/bin/fuse shows
> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 57K 2008-08-30 08:36 /usr/bin/sshfs*
In other words, the out-of-the-box installation apparently does not work.
Please let me know if I need further information.

Hi,
This bug was indeed related to a permissions mess on /dev/fuse.
It has been fixed since 2.7.4-1 package.
Regards, Adam.
