That said, being kernel modules, my guess is be that the situation is actually still the same (too-lazy-to-check syndrome reporting in). FUSE is an optional dependency for, ummm... devel/gvfs, mostly to get a [pretty flaky and dangerous] NTFS read/write support, and the FUSE (the one we keep in ports) is a long time unmaintained mess that no sane person who values his data should be using anyway. As far as I remember, it defaults to off. m. -- Michal Varga, Stonehenge (Gmail account)
