Bug Description
I have my full home directories encrypted for each user.
I've noticed that sometimes if I logout and then login in with another user with sudo privileges I can still browse through my home directory, i.e. ecryptfs hasn't dismounted my home directory.
It seems to be happening in about one third of instances and so far it's only happened with my own account. I'm totally unable to reliably reproduce this at the moment and can't see anything untoward in the logs.
I could do with some tips on how to diagnose this.
Thanks.
Using Ubuntu 9.10, fully up to date. Ecryptfs-utils version 81-0ubuntu3.

Well it's been two weeks and not a single reply. This could be a potentially serious issue. Does anyone care?
