The following two packages are built in my PPA. Please respond here with any bugs/issues:
* adduser - 3.110ubuntu2~ppa1
* ecryptfs-utils - 66-2ubuntu4~ppa1
To test, enable my PPA for Jaunty, and upgrade these two packages.
Then, as root, create a new user with:
# adduser --encrypt-home $user
Fill in the required information, and password accordingly. Login as that user and you should be able to operate as usual, with your entire home directory encrypted.
Note that:
* your encrypted data will reside in /home/$user/.Private
* this directory will not be visible while mounted
* your ecryptfs configuration data, which is required to establish the mount will live in /var/lib/ecryptfs/$user and will be symbolically linked into /home/$user
