Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sigoden/dufs/issues/485

Specific Demand

Example:
Users: usr1 usr2
Paths: /disk0/usr1 /disk1/usr2 (both users have "shared" folder)
Permissions: Each user can read other user's shared folder and can write to their own path.
Problem: Current implementation forces me to duplicate authentication info for each dufs instance

Implement Suggestion

add support for external auth file which would contain user and encrypted pass, then just the username can be referred for setting permissions.

@sigoden commented on GitHub (Nov 18, 2024):

We will not suport this feature.

Dufs already support config file (config.yaml), a seperated auth file doesn't have much significance.
