I have 2 Debian systems, prod1 and prod2, with their respective users, prod1 and prod2 as well. I want to setup an sshfs with autofs to have a directory on prod1 in the /home/prod1/ that the user www-data could use independently on one server or the other. I want the owner of the content to be www-data. I want to use ssh from the prod2 user to prod1 user, not directly www-data. How would I configure /etc/fstab, /etc/auto.master and /etc/auto.sshfs ?

auto.master:
/mnt/ssh /etc/auto.sshfs uid=www-data,gid=www-data,--timeout=30,--ghost
auto.sshfs:
prod1 -fstype=fuse,rw,nodev,nonempty,noatime,allow_other,max_read=65536 :sshfs\#prod1@prod1\:
- you can use e.g. /var/www/ssh instead of /mnt/ssh, this directory becomes a special directory where access will trigger auto-mount ...
- reconsider security implications and adjusting permissions

prod1 gets created automatically and belongs to root but then whatever I try to do (ls) returns No such file or directory– BastianMay 15, 2012 at 10:27

make sure that root has needed private key in
/root/.ssh/id_dsa
, tryssh prod1@prod1
from root– ZrinMay 16, 2012 at 3:50 -
sorry, tried all sorts of things and eventually gave up. sshing directly as www-data. Dunno what the etiquette says in this case but marking your answer as correct for your efforts.– BastianMay 16, 2012 at 7:28
cat /etc/fuse.conf
# mount_max = 1000
# user_allow_other
Uncomment the user_allow_other
line and then this will be work.
