*an actual question*
Cliff/PDXLUG,
I brought this up a *long* time ago. Is there anything that can allow
Linux to mount a SSH path to your local file system? Cliff, I recall you
mentioning something recently on the IRC channel [1].

Ha hA! You can use the Weak GUI stuff that KDE and Gnome offer. Don't
get me wrong - it's ok. But unless your app conforms to thier
extensions, it's not that great. However, FUSE
http://fuse.sourceforge.net/ is new hotness. You get it, and that
builds a kernel module to allow FSs implemented in userspace to work.
Then you Install the ssh-fuse thing, then follow the instructions.
Under Gentoo you may have to unmask the fuse-ssh, but fuse is a kernel
module.
Cliff has it working on FC4. It's pretty simple. Supposedly 2.6.13, or
2.6.14 at the latest will have this as part of the kernel proper.
Furthermore, in 3 or 4 majors lots of people would like to be rid of the
current NFS implementation in the kernel. There is talk of replacing
kernel-NFS with fuse-nfs. (Which I have never tested...)
So, Fuse is cool and I think that was what Cliff was chatting up.
