Bug Description

ecryptfs-mount-private man page describes the use of file ~/.ecryptfs/wrapped-independent but it is currently broken.

I have checked the script and there are some code about ~/.ecryptfs/wrapping-independent (not even the same filename) but nothing else. IMO unbounding the login passphrase from the wrapping passphrase will be useful feature.

Thanks for the report.

I have committed a fix to the repository, aligning the documentation with the implementation. It will be in the -76 release.

Note that this only really works on encrypted-private. It's not really practical on encrypted-home.

Cheers,
