Add the following line to /etc/security/group.conf near the end of the file. *;*;*;Al0000-2400;fuse (That's a lowercase l, not a number 1) For this file to have effect, you need pam_group enabled somewhere in your pam.d directory. My /etc/pam.d/common-auth contains this line: auth required pam_group.so If you do all this, every user who logs in should be given fuse group membership. Another way to handle this is to just change the permissions on /dev/fuse so that all users can read and write it. I suspect that certain system upgrades may overwrite your changes unless you take proper precautions -- and I can't remember what those are right now so maybe someone else can speak up. -Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Are you an open source citizen?
