Default owner and group of /dev/fuse is root:root, while it would make alot more sense IMHO to have a fuse group by default and the ownership be root:fuse, as many users using FUSE would want to use it as non-root anyway. Currently the user would need to chown the device or allow rw access to anyone on the system to use FUSE.
This task depends upon
