Presumably the fstab entry specified sshfs. Aren't the restrictions
that sshfs itself imposes already enough? It requires that
~/remote_site be owned by the user executing sshfs, and also that the
user have the correct password to log in to the remote system.

Not even root can access an sshfs file system that I've mounted as
myself.

sshfs does this itself.

At present, what defines which user file systems can be a fuser file
system? Perhaps it's the user file systems themselves that should
enforce the security restrictions on their use, as I understand sshfs
to do now.
