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
