The user does not need to log out after adding themselves to the fuse group in order to invoke sshfs. Simply type 'newgrp fuse', which will change the user's current group to fuse. Then type 'id' to verify the current group id has been changed as requested. Now, you can try mounting a remote directory over SSH with sshfs.
Also, make sure you use 'fusermount -u mounting_point' instead of 'umount'. This avoids unnecessarily logging in as root when unmounting a virtual directory mounted with fuse. To recap: 1. Add yourself to the fuse group by typing gnome-control-center, choosing Users and Groups, double clicking on the user to change in the user listing box, clicking on the User tab, then checking "fuse" Alternatively, you can use groupmems as root, but the groupmems command has been segfaulting for me, and I don't know why. 2. Change your current group id to fuse by typing newgrp fuse 3. Mount the remote directory over SSH using sshfs sshfs [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/remote/directory/to/mount /home/myusername/my-mounting-point 4. Viola! When your done, unmount using: fusermount -u /home/myusername/my-mounting-point Damian -- sshfs : : Permission denied https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123501 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
