I am moving to a new PC after the lightning induced demise of my old
one. I have installed Ubuntu 14.10 and restored /home from the old
PC, and all is well, except that one of the users has an encrypted
home folder. /home/user and home/.ecryptfs/user have been restored ok
but now I somehow need to setup a new user to access the encrypted
data. I have the mount password. Is there any way of doing this
other than manually recovering the data and copying to a new user?
