ecryptfs create Private dir with wrong permissions

[Paolo Benvenuto]

Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

I issued:

$ sudo aptitude install ecryptfs-utils
$ ecryptfs-setup-private

I got;

Private dir had permissions dr-x------, i.e. it was 500, not 700

besides that, mount didn't reported any dir Private mounted

This is by design, not a bug.

When the private directory is not mounted, the permissions are 500 so that you don't inadvertently write data to the unecrypted mountpoint.

Once it's mounted, then the permissions will be 700.

Did you log out and log back in to see if the automount takes place?
