[Bug 1377924] Re: ecryptfs fails to mount (Unable to link the KEY_SPEC_USER_KEYRING into the KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING)

[Pieter]

Just using ssh and all the ecryptfs problems are gone.

I think ecrypfts should provide a better explanation, when it cant
access the keyring.

Kernel:
 4.4.1-040401-generic #201601311534 SMP Sun Jan 31 20:36:43 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Title:
  ecryptfs fails to mount (Unable to link the KEY_SPEC_USER_KEYRING into
  the KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING)

Status in openssh package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in pam package in Ubuntu:

  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is a reincarnation of Bug #1234412.

  Looks like issue is not related to specific kernel versions.

  Currently I am observing two Trusty (14.04) machines, with very close configuration, running same kernel:
  3.13.0-36-generic #63-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 3 21:30:07 UTC 2014 x86_64.

  One is able to mount without the problem but the other is refusing:
  $ mount -t ecryptfs sec sec
  Unable to link the KEY_SPEC_USER_KEYRING into the KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING; there is something wrong with your kernel keyring. Did you build key retention support into your kernel?
