Contents
Description
umount.ecryptfs_private is a mount helper utility for non-root users to unmount a cryptographically
mounted private directory, ~/Private.
If, and only if:
- the private mount passphrase is in their kernel keyring, and
- the current user owns both ~/.Private and ~/Private, and
- ~/.Private is currently mounted on ~/Private
- the mount counter is 0 (counter is ignored if -f option is used)
This program will:
- unmount ~/Private
The only setuid operationis in this program are the call to umount and updating /etc/mtab.
The system administrator can add the pam_ecryptfs.so module to the PAM stack and automatically perform
the unmount on logout. See pam_ecryptfs(8).

~/.Private - underlying directory containing encrypted data ~/Private - mountpoint containing decrypted data (when mounted) ~/.ecryptfs/Private.sig - file containing signature of mountpoint passphrase /tmp/ecryptfs-USERNAME-Private - file containing the mount counter, incremented on each mount, decremented on each unmount
