I did various tests with ssh, su, login, gdm, removing the file and
others and it works as advertised. I also verified that the new code
does not run with privileges and I have talked with Dustin about a
couple of small improvements, and he will upload a new debdiff after
implementing/testing it.

Ecryptfs Private Directory Randomly Unmounts

Bug description:
Binary package hint: libecryptfs0

On my Asus EEE901, I have set up an encrypted private directory as per instructions on one of the developers blogs. It works perfectly, except that it seems to randomly unmount - it seems to be triggered by shutting the lid, but not always.

This is Ubuntu Intrepid, all updates current, KDE desktop. All there is within my Private folder is .ssh/, .gnupg/, .opera/, and Documents/ all symlinked to the same name in my home folder.

It's possible that this is by design that it unmounts when you leave your laptop, but if so this is redundant as it can be remounted immediately by using the mount.ecryptfs_private command without password prompting.
