Package: encfs
Version: 1.3.2-1-1
Severity: important

I'm not sure how to explain the bug. But I'll try my best.

As a general understanding, once an encfs encrypted directory is mounted using 
the password, the user should be able to access it anyway.

Examples:
* Access it locally.
* Access it over ssh
* Access it over Samba

While the first two cases are true, the third isn't. I'm able to access the 
encfs mounted remote folder over ssh but am not able to access the same folder 
over smb/cifs.

I think this is a encfs problem because even root is not able to access the 
encrypted folder and look into its content (when it is mounted). (which is good 
as even root cannot see a user's data but still, Isn't it a bug because root is 
root. It should be able to do anything and everything).

Anyway, I think it should be related. I'm not able to access my own share on a 
remote server which is encrypted by encfs. I am able to access every other data 
there but that particular folder (the encfs folder) does not even get listed in 
the smb mounted folder.
