Thread: eCryptfs reasonably secure login passphrase VS sudo

hello there,
ecrypfs , handy automount feature allows user use login password encrypt /home/.ecryptfs/user/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase file, in turn holds key decipher rest of user data. right?(am missing something?)

therefore user expected pick file-encryption-wise passhprase login password. if user had enter passphrase @ login. problem sudo way of granting admin privileges, same passphrase asked each time admins tasks required (thus bugging user enter long passphrase more may comfortable with. shorter, more handy password more suitable getting admin privileges).

the user left choice of either picking less-than-secure passphrase file-encryption, or having enter cumbersome password every time admin task @ hand.

question is: how can separate login , sudo password without getting rid of sudo system altogether , activating root account? (any possible workaround welcome too)

help.

easiest method not use ecryptfs encrypt entire home directory.

make crypt within home directory , can ecryptfs or can use cryptkeeper, graphical interface.
