FuseSMB does not scan network

[Max-Ulrich Farber]

Binary package hint: fusesmb

Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy, FuseSMB version 0.8.6-1

After installation from Ubuntu Gutsy repositories the command 'sudo chown -R <user> ~/.smb' is necessary to make FuseSMB scan the network correctly without Root permissions. Afterwards the file ~/.smb/fusesmb.cache' is updated regularly.

The command 'sudo fusesmb <mountpoint>' makes Root become the owner of the file '~/.smb/fusesmb.cache' again. The file is emptied, but no updating will be done any more.

To make FuesSMB work again, it is necessary to enter 'chown <user> ~/.smb/fusesmb.cache' first, otherwise no updating will be done any more. I could not run FuseSMB with 'sudo' as described in the wiki page http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/FUSE/FuseSMB

I forgot to say that it is the command 'sudo fusesmb <mountpoint> -o allow_other' that disturbs the files in ~/.smb; without '-o allow_other' there is nothing changed at the file '~/.smb/fusesmb.cache', and FuseSMB continues to work.
The option 'user_allow_other' is set in /etc/fuse.conf.
