Correct. The files are: ~/.ecryptfs/auto-mount ~/.ecryptfs/auto-umount Note that it is "umount" rather than "unmount". This is to match the mount/umount system commands. > I notice that Dustin also mentions an auto-unmount option.

I disagree with this. Please make both checkboxes available. I can think of a handful of cases where users would like this mounting/umounting to occur, or not occur independently. The underlying functionality is present in pam_ecryptfs, and I see no reason to hide it. -- :-Dustin -- Suggestion: GUI frontend(s) for ecryptfs-utils https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257901 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
