encfs & fusermount on Fedora 9

[Andre Costa]

Hi,

I am trying to make encfs [http://arg0.net/wiki/encfs] work as a regular
user on Fedora. It fails  because /bin/fusermount doesn't have suid bit set
(also it should belong to 'fuse' group). I know this is more secure, but is
encfs really meant to be only run by root? If I run it with sudo it mounts
the filesystem as root, which restricts access to the mount point to root
only...

Is there any proper way of doing it? I could of course chmod 4755
fusermount, but that would force me to do it everytime fusermount is
updated, which is not an option.

Regards,

Andre
