Hi Daveh > Before I dive headlong into this has anyone successfully built fuse/sshfs > against Centos 4.4. I'm using Fuse 2.5.3 with EncFS (not sshfs) on CentOS 4.4. Works fine and so far without any problems. I'm using fuse/encfs also on CentOS 3 for a long time and even did an (outdated) package for that a long time ago. I'm still using it directly compiled from Source. Building an RPM is on my (long) task list. RedHat and thus CentOS doesn't have fuse in the standard Kernel, as they are using 2.4.9 with some backports/fixes (but not fuse). Kind regards Roland BTW: Are any CentOS developers/users going to EuroOSCON next week to Brussels?
