Unfortunately, AFAIK, that does break it -- it must be the user themselves calling "passwd" since then PAM will prompt for the old password to pass through the PAM stack. eCryptfs (and potentially other things) use it to decrypt the mount passphrase, and then re-encrypt it with the new PAM password. -- ecryptfs Private directory not mounted after changing password in users-admin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307019 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to liboobs in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
