You have been subscribed to a public bug by Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand):
I am using the latest 8.10.
When the user with a private directory is not logged in, root can have a look
in the Private directory and see exactly one file in clear:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 norbert norbert 28 2008-10-15 23:19 THIS DIRECTORY HAS BEEN
UNMOUNTED TO PROTECT YOUR DATA -- Run mount.ecryptfs_private to mount again ->
/sbin/mount.ecryptfs_private
-rw------- 1 norbert norbert 421581 2008-10-15 22:15 x.png.nc
Here the file x.png.nc is the one.
This file can be extracted and viewed.
Regarding the nature of this directory, I regard this problem as
security relevant.
