I wonder why that is. I use ecryptfs extensively to encrypt user's home 
directories, and it works just great and thanks to pam_ecryptfs almost 
out-of-the-box. I always disliked the hoops one has to go through to setup 
dm-crypt & PAM in a proper and sane way and ecryptfs works well enough. 
What alternatives are out there? fscrypt is not quite there yet, same for 
encrypted ext4. I wonder what other people use to encrypt a user's home 
directory. Full disk encryption seems to be pretty popular, but is equally 
tricky to set up properly.

So, thanks for keeping ecryptfs alive, I guess :-)

Christian.
