Comment 1 for bug 445301

When creating a new user with a GID different than the UID using adduser --encrypt-home, the GID is not passed at all from adduser to ecryptfs-setup-private:

      if (defined($encrypt_home)) {
        printf gtx("Setting up encryption ...\n") if $verbose;
        &systemcall($ecryptfs_setup_private, '-b', '-u', $new_name);
      }

ecryptfs-setup-private then blindly chowns to $USER:$USER assuming the GID matches the UID:

        chown $USER:$USER "$CRYPTDIR" /dev/shm/.ecryptfs-$USER
        (multiple chowns below this)

sciri@baka:~$ sudo adduser --encrypt-home --gid 2500 testuser
