I'm trying to create an encrypted directory using ecryptfs such that I can switch it between being encrypted to non-encrypted at will. I did:
# aptitude install ecryptfs-utils # modprobe ecryptfs # mkdir encrypted-directory # chmod 700 encrypted-directory # mount -t ecryptfs encrypted-directory encrypted-directory Passphrase: At this point I made up and entered a passphrase, then followed the steps, selecting the defaults (with the exceptions of choosing the twofish cipher and 32 key bytes). There was this message: WARNING: Based on the contents of [/root/.ecryptfs/sig-cache.txt], it looks like you have never mounted with this key before. This could mean that you have typed your passphrase wrong. Would you like to proceed with the mount (yes/no)? : yes Would you like to append sig [****************] to [/root/.ecryptfs/sig-cache.txt] in order to avoid this warning in the future (yes/no)? : yes Successfully appended new sig to user sig cache file Mounted eCryptfs Then I cd'd into ~/encrypted-directory (as non-root) and created some files there. But when I try to umount, I'm getting this: # umount encrypted-directory /sbin/umount.ecryptfs: symbol lookup error: /sbin/umount.ecryptfs: undefined symbol: ecryptfs_remove_auth_tok_from_keyring /sbin/umount.ecryptfs: symbol lookup error: /sbin/umount.ecryptfs: undefined symbol: ecryptfs_remove_auth_tok_from_keyring # umount ecryptfs encrypted-directory Could not unlink the key(s) from your keying. Please use `keyctl unlink` if you wish to remove the key(s). Proceeding with umount. umount: ecryptfs: not found /sbin/umount.ecryptfs: symbol lookup error: /sbin/umount.ecryptfs: undefined symbol: ecryptfs_remove_auth_tok_from_keyring /sbin/umount.ecryptfs: symbol lookup error: /sbin/umount.ecryptfs: undefined symbol: ecryptfs_remove_auth_tok_from_keyring What else should I be doing?
