I notice on boot that there is an error message (which may not be related?)

Oct 30 22:21:27 foo udevd[411]: add_to_rules: invalid KERNEL operation
Oct 30 22:21:27 foo udevd[411]: add_to_rules: invalid rule '/etc/udev/rules.
d/60-fuse.rules:1'

The udev file contains
KERNEL="fuse", NAME="%k", MODE="0660",OWNER="root",GROUP="fuse"

This is the same as fc5.

lsmod shows fuse module in indeed loaded.

However any attempt to do anything (sshfs or encfs) yields

fusermount: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied

unless the fuse mount is run as root.

fusermount is setuid - and the user is a member of group fuse (neeeded as
fusermount is setuid and runnable only by group fuse).

Suggestions?


I had this. From googling around I found a reference that the udev
syntax had changed and
you need "==" for equality tests. So the line should now be ....

KERNEL=="fuse", NAME="%k", MODE="0660",OWNER="root",GROUP="fuse"
^^

Worked for me anyway.

Can you file a BZ# so it'll get fixed in the next update?
