Running auth-client-config -p etc. gives error

[k65]

I use 8.04 and wanted to use/test the private directory option introduced in 8.10. I followed the three commands from http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/alpha4. The first command runs fine. The second one:

sudo auth-client-config -p ecryptfs_standard -t pam-auth,pam-session,pam-password

Gives me an error saying this:

peter@peter-desktop:~$ sudo auth-client-config -p ecryptfs_standard -t pam-auth,pam-session,pam-password
Usage: auth-client-config -p PROFILE -a -t TYPE [-dn -f FILE]
       auth-client-config -p PROFILE -a -t TYPE -r [-n -f FILE]
       auth-client-config -p PROFILE -a -t TYPE -s [-f FILE]

auth-client-config: error: option -p: invalid choice: 'ecryptfs_standard' (choose from 'ldap_example', 'kerberos_example', 'cracklib')

As you may understand I am not a power user and I have no clue what it says. I just understood it doesn't work. I hope this can be fixed! :-)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, this particular command is deprecated now according to the testing instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Testing for encrypted private home directories. Subsequently, I am setting the bug's status to Won't Fix.
