Hi

I cannot mount as a regular user using sshfs I get: fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied
So, I have to do a chmod a+rw /dev/fuse :-(

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Reboot
2. Try to use sshfs or other fuse util
3.
Actual Results:  
Get a permission error

Expected Results:  
Fuse operation should have been successful
Comment 1 Marcus Meissner 2013-08-21 20:40:53 UTC 
/dev/fuse should be 666

 /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules:KERNEL=="fuse", MODE="0666", OPTIONS+="static_node=fuse"

I see the same issue; surprisingly /dev/fuse is there without the kernel module being loaded.

launching 'modprobe fuse' loads the module without error and also assigns the right permission (that seems to be when the udev rule from comment 1 is hit)

So the question would probably be: why does fuse.ko not get loaded?
Comment 4 Forgotten User sLJ7K2dvxj 2013-09-09 13:02:27 UTC 
The permissions should be 0666 *before* the module is loaded, and then the module would be autoloaded and everything would work fine, as it does on 12.3.

So to me it looks like something in udev.

Guessing maintainer -> rmilasan?
Comment 5 Dominique Leuenberger 2013-09-09 13:06:57 UTC 
FYI: I added a /etc/modules-load.d/fuse.conf (with content fuse) and upon reboot, the module gets loaded, but the permission remain 0600;

so there is clearly something 'resetting' fuse permissions.

The few commits before that one are also needed (introducing --exclude-prefix for example)

Frederic, isn't the commit part of systemd?

I've submitted fixes in home:fcrozat:branches:Base:System / systemd

Please test (once the packages are available)

Installed yiour fixed systemd packages, rebooted and mounted a sshfs without any issues... so this looks all right.
Comment 12 Stanislav Brabec 2013-09-10 13:59:59 UTC 
encfs - the issue is gone as well.

Also GNOME now autoloads fuse. I see just after login to GNOME:

oct:~ # lsmod | grep fuse
fuse                   95850  3
