So what about performing the capability and group membership check in the client and sending the result of this check to the server? Yes, need to extend fuse_setxattr_in. There's still a race with uid and gid changing on the underlying filesystem, so the attributes need to be refreshed, but I don't think that's a big worry. Thanks, Miklos
