Re: [fuse-devel] user's environment

[Gergely D. <Ger...@ce...>]

Thanks for answer, however I already use this

fuse_get_context() and I observed that this is always root 
(the one which is runnning the daemon) , and not the
user who launch for example the ls command on the file system.

What can be the reason of it ?
