NAME¶
ecryptfsd - user-space eCryptfs daemon.
DESCRIPTION¶
ecryptfsd is a userspace daemon that runs as the user performing file
operations under the eCryptfs mount point. It services public key requests
from the eCryptfs kernel module; these requests are sent via netlink on file
open events. ecryptfsd only needs to be run when a mount is done with a public
key module.
The daemon can be started simply by running
ecryptfsd. ecryptfsd will
register itself with the kernel as the daemon that should service all eCryptfs
filesystem requests done under the context of the user who runs the daemon.
