Mount points created according to general umask

Asked by Peter Passchier

The mountpoint(s) on my setup are created group and other readable. Could this be a security issue?

Should mount points be set with no permissions for group/other users?

It doesn't matter because fuse deals with that. Only the user who mounted the stash can access it unless he enables the option to allow other users to access it (fuse option "allow_other", that is what the respective option in the GUI sets)

Of course, that explains it. Great.
Well, can't find anything important wrong with Gnome Encfs Manager anymore. :-D
Thanks a lot for all your hard work.
