Hello,

From Linux mount.fuse(8) :
CONFIGURATION
  Some options regarding mount policy can be set in /etc/fuse.conf :
    user_allow_other
      Allow non-root users to specify allow_other or allow_root options 

From FreeBSD mount_fusefs(8) :
allow_other
  Do not apply STRICT ACCESS POLICY. Only root can use this option.

I would like to see the Linux behaviour under FreeBSD, being able to allow non-root users to use allow_other/allow_root option.

I then also think that it could be interesting to support allow_root :
allow_root
  This option is similar to allow_other but file access is limited to the user mounting the filesystem and root. This option and allow_other are mutually exclusive.

I need Fuse FS mounted by non-root users to be available to root (at least the very first dir).
I then use this dirty quick tweak :

--- sys/fs/fuse/fuse_internal.c.orig
+++ sys/fs/fuse/fuse_internal.c
@@ -142,7 +142,7 @@
 			int denied = fuse_match_cred(data->daemoncred,
 			    cred);
 
-			if (denied) {
+			if (denied && (cred->cr_uid)) {
 				return EPERM;
 			}
 		}

Would then be nice to be officially supported.

Many thanks !

Ben
