fuse problem

[pstranger]

I downloaded fuse-2.7.4-5pclos2009.src.rpm, rebuilt it and got:
dkms-fuse-2.7.4-5pclos2010.i586.rpm
fuse-2.7.4-5pclos2010.i586.rpm
fuse-devel-2.7.4-5pclos2010.i586.rpm

Next I removed fuse-2.8.4-1pclos2010 and installed fuse-2.7.4-5pclos2010

But
rpm -Uhv dkms-fuse-2.7.4-5pclos2010.i586.rpm
gave :
dkms-fuse < 2.7.4-6 conflicts with kernel-2.6.32.11-pclos2.bfs-1-1pclos2010.i586

Is there src for dkms-fuse-2.7.4-6 or it is gridlock?

it should read: Access: (0666/crw-rw-rw-)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (  501/    fuse)

note Gid: (  501/    fuse) the 501 may differ on yours.

-----------------------------------

1) fuse objects are executed outside the fuse container so /dev/fuse does not need exec privileges.
2) gruop id for /dev/fuse example 501, is a member of mysql.
3) you are a member of 501

so fuse-2.8.4-5pclos2010 works just fine.

Hello I am having the same problem with fuse-2.8.4-5pclos2010.i586.rpm.

The user is assigned to the fuse group but when using sshfs comes with failed to open /dev/fuse.

fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied

ls -dl /dev/fuse shows.

ls -dl /dev/fuse
crw------- 1 root root 10, 229 2010-06-03 09:15 /dev/fuse

So regardless if what changes I make by using chgrp fuse /dev/fuse it will not allow the user access to /dev/fuse.

Regards,

Rodger

I have done further testing on three other machine and they all have

fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied

All the users have access to fuse group

I need to be able to use sshfs-fuse to mount remote filesystems.

open a terminal and become root,
su - <enter>
chmod 0666 /dev/fuse <enter>
chown 0:501 /dev/fuse <enter>
exit <enter>

This is only a temporary fix. Once the computer is rebooted the permissions are no longer set.

Is there a way to make to permission changes below permanent?

open a terminal and become root,
su - <enter>
chmod 0666 /dev/fuse <enter>
chown 0:501 /dev/fuse <enter>
exit <enter>

on mine it was permanent even after reboot.

I would seriously question what package is changing perms at boot.

a quick fix however and certainly not the best method.

su -
nano /etc/rc.local

#search for line with exit 0
#just above it enter
chmod 0666 /dev/fuse
chown 0:501 /dev/fuse

#save it and don't forget to exit su

Thanks wwwauthor adding those changes to /etc/rc.local has solved the problem.


Thanks for your help.
