FUSE error because of allow_other

[mxmlnkn]

Hi,

I wanted to try out the project, but my first test failed:

echo foo > bar
tar -cf simple.tar bar
target-mount directly-compressed.tar mounted

INFO:root:Using fuse2 library: libfuse.so.2
2024-04-15T16:42:34.702509Z [warning  ] <Target directly-compressed.tar>: Failed to find OS plugin, falling back to default [dissect.target.target]
Mounting to mounted with options: nothreads,allow_other,ro
fusermount: option allow_other only allowed if 'user_allow_other' is set in /etc/fuse.conf
FUSE error

I can't edit /etc/fuse.conf without being root. How can I disable the allow_other FUSE option that target-mount seems to add by default?

I commented out the line options["allow_other"] = True in ~/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/dissect/target/tools/mount.py and everything works fine then, but this is more of a hack than a solution.

Thanks for reporting this. We could probably swap the default out for an argument (or fall back to without it if it fails and notify the user).

I'll see if I can make this change soon.
