Thanks for the bug report!

The current code upstream and in Jaunty use getent rather than grepping
passwd, so at least part of this bug is fixed.

I'll try to solve the rest of it with --loginpass...

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".
