Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: adduser
To recreate:
Set umask to 077 in /etc/profiles
(You may have to remove /home/.ecryptfs to reproduce this)
Run:
adduser --encrypt-home user
Expected behaviour:
User is created with encrypted home directory that mounts automatically at
login.
Actual Beheviour:
It does not work as expected. When you are asked to set the users password, it
says:
passwd: permission denied
After this (if you let the adduser script run through) when the user
logs in they cannot view their home directory
I *think* adduser script is creating .ecryptfs for the first time as
root, with 700 permissions,. and trying to write to it as a user.
