Trying to set up a ~/Private with a mount passphrase containing any parentheses
( "(",")" ) will initially be accepted but the script will fail on trying to
add the passphrase to the keyring:
# Add the passphrase to current keyring
# On subsequent logins, this should be handled by "pam_ecryptfs.so unwrap"
response=`printf "$MOUNTPASS" | ecryptfs-add-passphrase -`
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
error "Could not add passphrase to the current keyring"
fi
This has worked previously.
