You should note that there is a very small potential security risk here.
Most files don't have extended attributes on them and therefore any file
having an extended attribute would raise a red flag. Due to the way
ecryptfs works, these attributes would be visible (and
settable/unsettable) in the encrypted ".Private" directory. This problem
is minimal but I felt that it should be noted.
