Ecryptfs

How to change the pass phrase of ecryptfs (home directory encryption)

I changed my user password using passwd on Linux, but it turned out that this did not change the ecryptfs wrapping pass phrase. Here are some references I found which suggest that ecryptfs-rewrap-passphrase should be the command I’m looking for, but I haven’t test them out yet.

Note that someone also suggested that ecryptfs-rewrap-passphrase should be run first, followed by passwd.
