DESCRIPTION

10       ecryptfsd  is  a userspace daemon that runs as the user performing file
11       operations under the eCryptfs  mount  point.  It  services  public  key
12       requests  from  the eCryptfs kernel module; these requests are sent via
13       /dev/ecryptfs on file open events. ecryptfsd only needs to be run  when
14       a mount is done with a public key module.
15
16       The  daemon  can be started simply by running ecryptfsd. ecryptfsd will
17       register itself with the kernel as the daemon that should  service  all
18       eCryptfs  filesystem  requests  done  under the context of the user who
19       runs the daemon.
