I recently started trying to use usbnetwork again. (I have to reinstall the install.bin file for it periodically, because if I accidentally take the Kindle off airplane mode then a firmware update usually happens, and that undoes usbnetwork.) After reinstalling, the usbnetwork bit worked fine; however, sshd did not start. Accessing it via telnet, I found that attempting to manually start sshd yields "/mnt/us/usbnet/empty must be owned by root and not group- or world-writable".
/mnt/us/usbnet/empty, of course, exists, but is set mode 777. chmod will not work on it, because the filesystem is fat32. /mnt/us is some kind of odd bind mount of /mnt/base-us, but in the latter, umask is set to 022, and so group and world cannot write anywhere. I can't find a way to make the bind mount (fuse.fsp, whatever that is) do the same thing.
How should this be fixed? How was it ever working in the first place? Did something change?
