umount.ecryptfs_private is a mount helper utility for non-root users to unmount a cryptographically mounted private directory, ~/Private. If, and only if:
  - the private mount passphrase is in their kernel keyring, and
  - the current user owns both ~/.Private and ~/Private, and

  - the mount counter is 0 (counter is ignored if -f option is used) This program will:
  - unmount ~/Private The only setuid operationis in this program are the call to umount and updating /etc/mtab. The system administrator can add the pam_ecryptfs.so module to the PAM stack and automatically perform the unmount on logout. See pam_ecryptfs(8).
