I am trying to add an encrypted folder to my Ubuntu profile.
What I want to do is have a folder called ~/Private which is actually a decrypted view of the folder ~/.Private

This works fine unless I try it in a likewise user profile which is connected to our work Windows domain.

Entering ecryptfs-setup-private asks me for my login passphrase but always rejects it.

As mentioned, I have local profile on this machine for which the whole home folder is encrypted and decrypts on login.
I just cannot get the same to happen for the likewise profile on Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot v11.10.

Details that I am following are here.

Once I get it sorted, I will sync the .Private folder to my dropbox account and have a layer of security for replicating my files to the cloud.
