FUSE: allow_other option not possible

[tuaris]

After installing the sysutils/fusefs-sshfs I am able to mount a remote directory over ssh as a regular user with:

sshfs remote-host: /mnt/sshfs -o sftp_server=/usr/lib/sftp-server

If I try to use the 'allow_other' option to permit other users to access the mount like so:

sshfs remote-host: /mnt/sshfs -o allow_other,sftp_server=/usr/lib/sftp-server

I get:

mount_fusefs: /dev/fuse on /mnt/sshfs: Operation not permitted
fuse: failed to mount file system: No such file or directory
