Fuse and SSHFS

Config:

/etc/fuse.conf:

  # Set the maximum number of FUSE mounts allowed to non-root users.
  # The default is 1000.
  #
  #mount_max = 1000

  # Allow non-root users to specify the 'allow_other' or 'allow_root'
  # mount options.
  #
  user_allow_other

• Set user_allow_other so that, for example

      sshfs simonh@csf.itservices.manchester.ac.uk danzek -o allow_root

  works, else root cannot access the mounts!

Example:

    mpciish@sekhmet> mkdir danzek

    mpciish@sekhmet> sshfs mpciish2@csf.itservices.manchester.ac.uk danzek -o allow_root
        # ...enter CSF password when prompted...

    mpciish@sekhmet> cd danzek && ls
        # ...see CSF files in normal way...
