Looking at the attachments in this bug report, I noticed that "Replace
references to /etc/passwd" was not flagged as a patch.  A patch contains
changes to an Ubuntu package that will resolve a bug and this attachment
is one!  Subsequently, I've checked the patch flag for it.  In the
future when submitting patches please use the patch checkbox as there
are some Launchpad searches that use this feature.  Thanks for your
contribution Lee Maguire!

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

On my intrepid amd64 system (ecryptfs-utils-53-1ubuntu12), running ecrypt-setup-private from an LDAP provided user account breaks:

$ ecryptfs-setup-private 
ERROR: User [ldapusername] does not exist
$ ecryptfs-setup-private --username ldapusername
ERROR: User [ldapusername] does not exist

All other programs see the user account fine, including "getent passwd".
