Hi, I'm trying to create an encrypted directory (which will be a sub-directory in my home directory) using ecryptfs such that I can toggle the directory between the encrypted / non-encrypted states at will. Switching to the unencrypted state would require inputting a passphrase (no "automount" when logging in). This is on Debian Sid. I tried this:
% mkdir .crypto-dir % chmod 700 .crypto-dir # aptitude install ecryptfs-utils # modprobe ecryptfs # mount -t ecryptfs .crypto-dir .crypto-dir Passphrase: At this point I made up and entered a passphrase, then followed the steps, selecting the defaults (with the exceptions of choosing the twofish cipher and 32 key bytes). There was this message: WARNING: Based on the contents of [/root/.ecryptfs/sig-cache.txt], it looks like you have never mounted with this key before. This could mean that you have typed your passphrase wrong. Would you like to proceed with the mount (yes/no)? : yes Would you like to append sig [****************] to [/root/.ecryptfs/sig-cache.txt] in order to avoid this warning in the future (yes/no)? : yes Successfully appended new sig to user sig cache file Mounted eCryptfs Then I cd'd into ~/.crypto-dir (as non-root) and created some files there. But when I try to umount, I'm getting this: # umount .crypto-dir /sbin/umount.ecryptfs: symbol lookup error: /sbin/umount.ecryptfs: undefined symbol: ecryptfs_remove_auth_tok_from_keyring /sbin/umount.ecryptfs: symbol lookup error: /sbin/umount.ecryptfs: undefined symbol: ecryptfs_remove_auth_tok_from_keyring # umount ecryptfs .crypto-dir Could not unlink the key(s) from your keying. Please use `keyctl unlink` if you wish to remove the key(s). Proceeding with umount. umount: ecryptfs: not found /sbin/umount.ecryptfs: symbol lookup error: /sbin/umount.ecryptfs: undefined symbol: ecryptfs_remove_auth_tok_from_keyring /sbin/umount.ecryptfs: symbol lookup error: /sbin/umount.ecryptfs: undefined symbol: ecryptfs_remove_auth_tok_from_keyring What else should I be doing?
