Not wrong, merely too concise for the inattentive reader. You need root privileges to install FUSE on a system and enable it for any or all users: FUSE does not allow to mount without root privileges, it only allows root to delegate the privileges of mounting, in a more convenient way than sudo or similar. And indeed, I know of several hosting services where FUSE is not enabled. Low-end VPS services frequently fall in that category, as they use custom kernels with strange virtualization methods. To allow to mount anything really without root privileges, you would need an implementation that work solely in userland, not relying on a kernel infrastructure: it would need to divert system calls using ptrace or shared library magic. It has been started a few times, but nothing satisfactory came out of it. The closest actually usable thing that exist would probably be User Mode Linux. Regards, -- Nicolas George
