Bug 908292

fuse supports a conf file in /etc

Per http://sourceforge.net/p/fuse/wiki/Fuse.conf/ it only supports 2 values:

user_allow_other
mount_max = n

I assume there are default values, so the virgin /etc/fuse.conf file could simply contain:

=====
# The file /etc/fuse.conf allows for the following parameters:
#
#    user_allow_other - Using the allow_other mount option works fine as root, in 
# order to have it work as user you need user_allow_other in /etc/fuse.conf as 
# well. (This option allows users to use the allow_other option.) You need 
# allow_other if you want users other than the owner to access a mounted fuse. 
# This option must appear on a line by itself. There is no value, just the 
# presence of the option.

# user_allow_other

    
# mount_max = n - this option sets the maximum number of mounts. From the 
# source code (2.4.1) it appears that it must be typed exactly as shown (with a 
# single space before and after the equals sign).

# mount_max = n

# As I noted above syntax requirements appear to be pretty finicky.

I stumbled on this because I was troubleshooting a permissions issue with fuse mounts so this is just a nicety, but it would have been helpful if this file was already in place.
