Description Christoph Lange 2007-01-09 17:38:26 UTC

The fuse ebuild should create a "fuse" group that owns the device node /dev/fuse so that it's easier to grant users the right to mount a userspace file system.

This is not necesarry because /dev/fuse is already 666 and allows any user to mount such a filesystem.
