He noticed that the Gnome3 new user dialog does not support the encrypt-home-directory feature that was present in previous versions of Gnome. To solve this, the new user dialog would have a boolean checkbox (defaulted to un-checked), which asks if this new user's home directory should be created. Talk to mpt about the wordsmithing. If checked, then you need to add --encrypt-home to the 'adduser' invocation. Before running adduser, you'd also need to ensure that ecryptfs-utils is installed. For real security, you would also need to run (as root) ecryptfs- setup-swap, which would encrypt the user's swap space. This is necessary, as any files/data that gets swapped out to disk could be written in the clear, thereby circumventing the user's requested encryption. Further note that if swap is encrypted, hibernation should be disabled (suspend continues to work just fine).

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 816669] Re: encrypted-home support in new user dialog
The problem still exisy in Precise. I'd say don't bother with swap encryption and hybernation related issues, as it is way too complicated. After all, what we do here is create a new user and it's home directory if required. There is no need to look beyond this, and any provisions beyond user home encryption are inappropriate and are not expected, really. All we need is normal gnome-system-tools functionality. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/816669 Title: encrypted-home support in new user dialog Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gnome-control-center” source package in Precise: Triaged Bug description: seb128 asked me to file this bug...

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 816669] Re: encrypted-home support in new user dialog
2 things regarding this... Now that I've had a user with encrypted home, he's been removed, and then re-added. using: $ userdel uname and $ adduser --encrypt-home uname I now get (what is to me) an irremovable error: ERROR: wrapped-passphrase file already exists, use --force to overwrite. adduser: `/usr/bin/ecryptfs-setup-private -b -u martin' returned error code 1.

This creates an additional problem: When installing Ubuntu, the user is offered to encrypt his personal folder; but when adding new users after installation, no choose between encrypting or not is offered.
