ntfs-3g fuse group?

[pestilence]

As stated in the ntfs-3g site the ntfs-3g to work with the user,users option in the fstab needs to be root setuid the file itself has root:fuse as owner and group, but when installed the users of the system are not added to the group making them unable to load NTFS partitions manually without the sudo command.
After adding the user (my user for this example) to the fuse group I am able to mount the HD normaly.
Please note that KDE does act strange on this, since after enabling this I am able to mount my NTFS partition but it takes a bit (meaning 1 second most) for KDE to understand that the partition has been mounted (initial browse to the directory lists no files, a refresh brings files).

Re: ntfs-3g fuse group?

If I understand you correctly, you're asking why users aren't added to the "fuse" group automatically.

One: It's not a group on a standard installation. Trying to add users to a nonexistent group would cause problems.
Two: Security problems. Think about it.
