.SH DESCRIPTION |
|
6 |
\fBecryptfsd\fP is a userspace daemon that runs as the user performing |
|
7 |
file operations under the eCryptfs mount point. It services public key |
|
8 |
requests from the eCryptfs kernel module; these requests are sent via |
|
9 |
netlink on file open events. ecryptfsd only needs to be run when a |
|
10 |
mount is done with a public key module. |
|
11 |
||
12 |
The daemon can be started simply by running \fIecryptfsd\fP. ecryptfsd |
|
13 |
will register itself with the kernel as the daemon that should service |
|
14 |
all eCryptfs filesystem requests done under the context of the user |
|
15 |
who runs the daemon. |
