Bug Description

This page:

- https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/ecryptfs.html

...suggests the following which aren't very good practises:

1) Storing an encryption password in cleartext.
2) Using a USB key on a server (very unentreprise).

Planning to remove this section in the next release and replace it with a more useful wakthrough on encrypting a user's home directory.
