Does `sshfs -o allow_root` open any security holes? Why isn't allow_root enabled by default?
allow_root
This option is similar to allow_other but file access is limited to the user mounting the filesystem and root. This option and allow_other are mutually exclusive.
From mount.fuse(8)
If the platform matters, assume that I'm on the latest version of FUSE and Linux.
