dumb question or not?
Hi,
After some kernel update and I've got the following error when I try to mount .private
setreuid: Operation not permitted
ERROR: Could not mount private ecryptfs directory
same error when I try to re-create encrypted directory... what's wrong?
Thank you

What are the permissions of /sbin/mount.ecryptfs_private? It should look like this, 4755.
$ ls -alF /sbin/mount.ecryptfs_private -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 18784 2011-12-13 15:11 /sbin/mount.ecryptfs_private*

It is slightly different
-rws--x--x 1 root root 13740 febr 3 18.36
/sbin/mount.ecryptfs_private*since my last mail I have re-emerged ecryptfs utils with suid flag, so now I can mount my private
is this really absolutely necessary to have suid bit on the executables? This is looks dangerous to me :)
Well, it's required if you want your non-root user to be able to mount your private directory.
Otherwise, you can mount it manually by hand as root.
