About bindfs

From Debian's package description

bindfs is a FUSE filesystem for mirroring a directory to another directory, similarly to mount --bind. The permissions of the mirrored directory can be altered in various ways.

Some things bindfs can be used for:

  • Making a directory read-only.
  • Making all executables non-executable.
  • Sharing a directory with a list of users (or groups).
  • Modifying permission bits using rules with chmod-like syntax.
  • Changing the permissions with which files are created.

Non-root users can use almost all features, but most interesting use-cases need user_allow_other to be defined in /etc/fuse.conf.

From Debian's description of the bindfs package, under that package's license.
