Description of problem: ecryptfs-simple does not seem to work as expected on my system when it does not have suid bit set. … ecryptfs uses kernel keyring[2] and why does things work with su - and not with anything else remains a mystery to me and my guess is that the keyring works only with a full logged in user and not with a pretending one as created with su,pkexec or. with sudo. [1] http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/keyrings.7.html Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ecryptfs-simple-2016.11.16.1-3.fc25 How reproducible: maybe Steps to Reproduce: 1. start sirikali, see bug #1428202 2. try to create an ecryptfs container 3. Actual results: mounting of ecryptfs volume fails. Expected results: ecryptfs volume created successfully. Additional info: Upstream provides a patch https://github.com/mhogomchungu/ecryptfs-simple/issues/2#issuecomment-283991385
