Problem with ecryptfs

just installed ecryptfs (debian Lenny).
However, when I try to run it (as normal user), I get the following

Code:

$ ecryptfs-setup-private
Enter your login passphrase:

And it wont accept any password (naturally since this is the first time I'm running it).

 

Have you tried the user password ?
and RTFM? man ecrypt*...
Sorry I can't be of more specific help. Only experience I have with ecryptfs is on Ubuntu where it's all set up for you at install time.

 

Yeah, tried the user password; didnt help.

However if I do

Code:

ecryptfs-setup-private -l mypassword

it works. But 1) my password is displayed in this fashion, and 2)it is stored in bash history...

But I dont think the setup is correct, as the data in Private remains unencrpted (in addition to the encrypted copy in .Private), even when I logout, and accesible by say root.
