Hi Joseph - Thanks for the bug report. This is a user support issue,
rather than a software bug so I'm going to mark this as invalid.
With that said, I did a little poking and things should be working for
you. I created a new user with `adduser --encrypt-home foo`, then
switched to the new user, moved ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase to /test
/wrapped-passphrase, and then created the appropriate symlink. It works
as expected for me in this simplified set up.
I suggest making sure that your USB key is being mounted at boot. Also,
you said that you linked to the wrapped-passphrase file in the
~/.encryptfs directory. The spelling on that directory name is incorrect
(you need to drop the 'n').
You'll have to poke at your local set up a bit because something
obviously isn't quite right. But at least you now know that a symlinked
wrapped-passphrase file works as expected in Precise. Good luck!
** Changed in: ecryptfs-utils (Ubuntu)
