We tested an Ubuntu 11.04 today regarding this problem. The conclusion is, that you have to perform tidious, manual commands in the shell in order to create new users in Ubuntu, if encryption is enabled. It seems, that new users are born with insufficient permissions to live.
In order to create a new encrypted user, named "Ann" in a group "Users", in Ubuntu, you have to add the following commands to your procedure for creating new users. cd /home ls -ld ann sudo chown ann:users ann sudo chmod 0770 ann ls -ld ann -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307019 Title: ecryptfs Private directory not mounted after changing password in users-admin -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
