Hi Dustin,

Thanks for the info. I discounted all the possibilities you mention -
There were no processes running under my username, and I rebooted the PC
several times and could reproduce it even then (so I know I'd only
logged in once).

I do have some cron jobs set up but I made sure none of them were
running either.

I haven't tried to reproduce this since my original post and three
attempts at doing so now have failed so I will keep trying and watch the
ecryptfs-$USER-Private file.

Status in eCryptfs - Enterprise Cryptographic Filesystem: Incomplete

Bug description:
I have my full home directories encrypted for each user.

I've noticed that sometimes if I logout and then login in with another user with sudo privileges I can still browse through my home directory, i.e. ecryptfs hasn't dismounted my home directory.

It seems to be happening in about one third of instances and so far it's only happened with my own account. I'm totally unable to reliably reproduce this at the moment and can't see anything untoward in the logs.

I could do with some tips on how to diagnose this.

Thanks.

Using Ubuntu 9.10, fully up to date. Ecryptfs-utils version 81-0ubuntu3.
