Description of problem: In order to setup the automatic mount on login of the encrypted ~/Private folder, the tool ecryptfs-setup-private is used. This tool, among all, creates the folder ~/Private, with permission 500 (r-x------), and it puts some links to files inside this folder. These links are visible when ~/Private is not mounted (or, better, when ~/.Private is not mounted on ~/Private). These linked files are: Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop -> /usr/share/ecryptfs-utils/ecryptfs-mount-private.desktop README.txt -> /usr/share/ecryptfs-utils/ecryptfs-mount-private.txt Unfortunately, these file do not exists. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ecryptfs-utils-70-1.fc10 How reproducible: Always on clean setup. If ~/Private already exists, being non writable, results in the error: Cannot create symbolic link (or similar). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Execute "ecryptfs-setup-private" from clean setup, i.e. without ~/Private folder. Actual results: Everything is setup fine, but the links inside ~/Private point to non-existing files. Expected results: The file linked should be there. Additional info: Version 61 of the ecryptfs-utils was creating a link to /sbin/mount.ecryptfs_private, which was OK. I guess the two missing files just need to be added to the rpm package, if they exist somewhere. Thanks, piergiorgio
