update-notifier in jaunty supports per-user notifications as well. Just add: OnlyAdminUsers: False to the note.
And test if it really works of course ;) But it should -- update-notifier message about recording mount passphrase https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/352307 You received this bug notification because you are a member of eCryptfs, which is subscribed to ecryptfs-utils in ubuntu. Status in “ecryptfs-utils” source package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in ecryptfs-utils in Ubuntu Jaunty: In Progress Bug description: Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils The ecryptfs-setup-private utility is used to configure a user's encrypted-home or encrypted-private directory. By default, ecryptfs-setup-private will generate a random 128-bit mount passphrase from /dev/urandom. If executed on the command line, a message such as the following is displayed to the terminal: ************************************************************************ YOU SHOULD RECORD THIS MOUNT PASSPHRASE AND STORE IN A SAFE LOCATION: f436f2db331b520e8879d53d012c363a THIS WILL BE REQUIRED IF YOU NEED TO RECOVER YOUR DATA AT A LATER TIME. ************************************************************************ Jaunty now supports configuring an encrypted-home directory in the installer itself (with the preseed option user-setup/encrypt-home=true). When this happens, a random mount passphrase is generated, but the user is not given the opportunity to record this passphrase (it was decided that this would interrupt the install experience). What we desperately need, then, is for ecryptfs-setup-private to trigger an update-notifier message to be displayed on subsequent boots (until dismissed by the user). This message to convey to the user: 1) That a strong, random mount passphrase has been generated to encrypt their home directory 2) That this passphrase should be recorded (written down, printed), and stored in a separate location 3) That this passphrase would be needed if manual data recovery is ever necessary 4) How to go about retrieving this passphrase $ ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase $HOME/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase Passphrase: foobar f436f2db331b520e8879d53d012c363a Martin Pitt has offered to help with this. I hope it can still make Jaunty. :-Dustin _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
